cabinet shake-up
bad mandy gets comeuppence
o, joy to behold!

but still i detest
having to toil for such prats
so i leave in fall

this thread makes giddy
my poor brain, counting the text
to ensure conforms...

May you dream of Face

i think that this thread
will be at least six pages
long by the morning

Is it uh, cheating
To stammer the words and, um
you know, get it right?
 
 
Char Aina

if you write just one
poem which all folks agree
is poetry, dude

then you get the slack
to write anything and call
it a poem, dude.
 
 
Char Aina
00:42 / 23.01.07
that said, if you do
overuse your, uh, gimmick
you'll become stagnant.

folks will laugh at you
and may not all buy into
your stammer haiku.

i'm trying to write
something. i have words in front
of me, but they suck.

patenting law is
not my forte, but i think
that shit is costly.

Woke up this morning
To copious mod requests
For fixing Haiku.
 
 
Quantum
08:37 / 23.01.07
Quantum wants to play
The syllable counting game
Only one problem;

Previous poems
Composed in the haiku form
Have not been that good.

Must I refer to
Cherry blossom and the moon?
Or is that kasen?
 
 
Triplets
09:38 / 23.01.07
Quantum's an odd name
His shame? Poorly made haiku
It won't do! For him
 
 
Quantum
09:56 / 23.01.07
'Triplets' is odder
And also cannon fodder
Like a hot rodder

Should my haiku rhyme?
Be funny like limericks?
Help me out toksik
 
 
Olulabelle
10:42 / 23.01.07
Moon and cherries pass
Meta Haiku is better
Sort of circular.

As much as I enjoy this haiku stuff;
I'm afraid to say that you are all wrong;
Iambic pentameter is the bomb;
If you don't like it, well, that is just tough.

should a haiku not
say something about seasons?
it's fucking freezing.

moderators, please
end the winter of mister

Summer swiftly fades
Autumn leaves are all fallen
Now it's just damn cold

A MAN MAY WRITE WELL
WHEN TRAPPED IN SYLLABIC BONDS.
HE ALSO MAY NOT.
 
 
Quantum
13:01 / 23.01.07
Perhaps an edit
Along the lines of something
Similar to this;

'I love haiku but
Iambic pentameter
Strikes me as the bomb'
 
 
Hydra vs Leviathan
13:15 / 23.01.07
pentameter is
not a five syllable word.
surely it should be?
 
 
Char Aina
13:23 / 23.01.07
i agree. can we
fix it? can we change it to
pentamameter?
 
 
Quantum
13:39 / 23.01.07
A moderator
Would need magical madskillz
To change the spelling

'Pentamameter'
Suggests to my mind
Five mother measures
 
 
Char Aina
13:44 / 23.01.07
if noah webster
can introduce new spellings
then surely we can.

Classic haikus should.
These are more like senryus,
they deal with people.

I do like haikus.
You can waste your working day
while working them out.

You may get odd looks
while counting on your fingers
whispering the words

Triplet's is so wrong,
Good haikus hurt and pull sighs
If formal form's used.

Inspired by Buddha,
The whole is in the moment.
There's no need for I.

Line one is something
linked to the season
or else, the place.

Line two: detail.
some timeless moment of perception
that ego flees from.

Final line is flight
to a metaphor's sweet hug.
They call it a "cut".

"Drowned dog in brown water,
bubbles over wet brown fur.
Swallows in corn fields."

A drinking game too,
composed in the pub.
Goes round: limp biscuit.

The challenge: simple.
Don't repeat a single word.
Else you drink sake.

toksik, would you mind
if I wrote in tenge?
It does give me joy.

When we say 'renga',
we mean not three-line verses,
but verses of three

alternated with two lines,
to suggest season-movement:

could we not apply
this rules to these posts of ours,
and see what flowers?

punctuation! sucks:
if, you - overuse it? huh;
so spring. is / yet far


did someone say that
haiku is bad poetry
without seasons, no?

Again it's too late.
No time for thoughtful posting
I'll just go to bed.

Someone will not say
Why "fucker-wallah" is not
Clearly some hatespeech.

On digital spy,
'ballbags' is acceptable,
logic is not.

smallville just isn't
any good - and it wasnt
worth trying again.
