Public List: Haiku together

This is an open list, anyone can contribute.
[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
This is an open list and you can contribute to the poetry.

The traditional haiku is a Japanese poem which consists of a pattern of 5, 7, 5. This pattern is the rule of this list:

Enter a sentence of 5 syllables after a sentence of 7 syllables and visa versa.

I don't know if this will work or what will come out of it, but lets find out... I'll ad the first sentence of 7 syllables.

It appears tomorrow (December 22) is National Haiku Poetry Day. Do with that information as you will. ;-)

6 months ago reesetee said:

Haha! Same here! But I tried to restrain myself. Just when I was about to give in, you posted it. ;-)

FYI for everyone else: see here (in comments) for its first appearance on Wordie.

6 months ago uselessness said:

I am shamed to say it's the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word haiku these days. It's one of the best things I've ever read. I couldn't not plagiarize it!!

6 months ago reesetee said:

U, you even sneaked in one of chained_bear's haikus! (I'd know it anywhere.)

6 months ago michaelchang said:

sweet jesus uselessness, you are a haiku machine!

6 months ago michaelchang said:

hihi, it was to find out if you really read everything on these pages, Reesetee! Now I know you do!

6 months ago skipvia said:

Trivet--that's a scream! And it sounds like one of my haikus.

6 months ago reesetee said:

Uselessness, you're the Haiku Kid! MC, you pinched one of my tags: "tie it to your hips." :-)

6 months ago uselessness said:

Oh wait, I've just been alternating 5s and 7s. I guess I thought we were just making haiku fragments. I wish there was a way to rearrange the lines so they actually work in the current order.

6 months ago michaelchang said:

oh holly shellfish, i didn't make it public... no wonder the list is so short...

6 months ago reesetee said:

Haha! I love that site.

6 months ago trivet said:

skipvia - see here.

6 months ago reesetee said:

MC, can you check again whether you've made this a public list? I don't see a word entry field up there as I usually would. :-)

Thanks! Oh, and great idea for a list, by the way!

6 months ago michaelchang said:

anything makes sense, sense is something inside.

6 months ago skipvia said:

Do the new lines have to...ummm...make sense?

Because mine never do...

6 months ago michaelchang said:

come on guys it is not that hard...

6 months ago michaelchang said:
