I don't think most teachers have any business using their aesthetic judgment in grading- since people's aesthetic judgment is terribly subjective and not very meaningful for grading. If a Haiku met the rubric, if it scanned, and was original, and made "sense" then I think any jury would be able to tell that it should have been a passing Haiku. I really hate aesthetic rather than technical grading, because I think it is far too easy for teachers to grade on personality when they have that kind of freedom.
