Crocodilic Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 A Haiku is a short 3 line verse about a hobby or food. It has a particular structure using syllables. The first line has 5 syllables. The 2nd line has 7 and the last has 5. Ottis has bad breath thank god for nice grogomints lots more in the pack Threeheaded monkey Partial to big bananas do look behind you One Monkey Island one old Hermit called Herman with three Cannibals Jojo the Monkey played a big piano but fruit and time dont mix Good Guybrush Threepwood used his rootbeer on pirate and saved his lover Mastering Swordfights, Treasure hunts and Thievery makes you a pirate The Church of Lechuck Timmy the helpful Monkey in my pants, a duck Lechuck the pirate the master evil dooer huzzah for zombies Hope you enjoy them - you may have read these before, why dont you have a go?

raVen_image Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Most of you fail to understand how the true haiku is defined (pedantic for effect) Scabb was right. "Persons usually first encounter haiku via a school text or a dictionary which typically define the form as a short poem with seventeen syllables arranged in three lines. As I have indicated, these criteria serve little purpose. Unless they are dropped from the definition, newcomers to haiku will expend undue effort struggling to achieve them rather than concentrating on the essence of haiku the content" Source: http://www.haikai.info/articles/swede.definition.html **Looks down at mxbx's response** (Time for a real haiku) Transparent, like dew Your weakness is revealed.

mxbx Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 oh, blasphemerist! how dare you spoil the essense of post-sense haiku? *looks up at blaspemerist's post and frowns*? (Is that how I say I'm doing something in this wacky land? Oh, and thanks for the new example.) smelly, tortured turd, do you hate all pointless posts? i'll wipe my tush now.
