palindromic haiku

i ran across a blog the other day with a song/poem that the 20 something's seem to love. it has a line: i’m so postmodern i only think in palindromic haiku. (i'd link to the very site where i saw it, but it's been lost over time to mouse clicks.)

this clearly should be viewed as a challenge. i was going to sic it on the va vagan during our upcoming haiku slugfest, but i don't want him getting the glory for clearing the bar.

need to do a little stretching exercise here first, don't want to hurt myself ... able was i ere i saw elba ... a man, a plan a canal: panama.

okay, now the hard wordy stuff...

postmodern haiku
is better than "better" -- is
haiku postmodern?
