Haiku

Sweet I have found a reference online saying that grammar of the haiku is up to the poet, so that's good! I almost want to capitilise each word, but the last line doesnt look right capitilised, so i'll sort out what I feel looks and sounds best.

I have written a draft summary also which I need to edit, but here's the draft...

Culture and Education Clash

Design school has taught me to strive for innovation and creative individuality. My New Zealand upbringing however, is clouded by Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS) (Kirkwood, 2007). This creates internal confusion, should I stand out, and “Enjoy the Crowd” (Lucas, 2008), or do I challenge my cultural background? According to Kirkwood (2007, p.366) “knocking high achievers is often described as being ingrained in New Zealand's culture”. Alternatively my design education has taught me to let this cultural norm go. In order to be recognised as a designer, I should stand out, and be unafraid of creating my own crowd. Everyone deserves to be recognised for his or her hard work, and New Zealand should destroy our TPS culture.
