In honor of November's XS theme, we asked readers to send us notes of architectural criticism, in haiku: the Japanese poetic form restricted to three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, in that order. And boy, did folks deliver. You can pack a lot of sour into 17 syllables, but also beauty. Below are the best haiku from our open call, and a few from Archinect's forum. Enjoy.
Interested in submitting to our next open call? December's theme, Faith, is currently accepting submissions.

These are great! Is Orhan's the only one not in orthodox haiku format? Or if I am reading this correct, some people just sent in photos?
