The Haiku Thread

Mr Casson · 23-12-2007, 05:23 PM

Welcome.

Two revelations have come from CDM's latest thread. Firstly, we have learnt that toasted sandwiches are better than your usual garden variety vomitous vegetarian fare (cold meats and leftovers excepted). Secondly, we need a haiku thread. So, here we will have fun writing haiku about anything, hopefully in a similar vein to the way the pun phenomenon exploded over CW.

If you need tips on how to write a haiku, observe 1-9-7-7's posting style. The posts do not strictly form a haiku, but their disjointed form and over-abridging of information is more or less the essence of writing a haiku. The most important thing is to maintain a rigid 5-7-5 syllabic structure. I'll kick things off.

Fiery and Perm
Two chaps display enmity
Which one do you like?

This was a hard choice
I decided on toasted
I cried a lot

Mr Casson · 23-12-2007, 05:55 PM

You fail.

1-9-7-7 · 23-12-2007, 05:55 PM

I tried at least.

Cried is 1 syllable imo.

1-9-7-7 · 23-12-2007, 05:57 PM

But looking again you're right.

AWTA. Long syllable, if there is such a thing.

In boxers he sits
One hand operates his mouse
Reading crap on net

It's semi-autobiographical tbh.

Matteh · 23-12-2007, 06:19 PM

The other hand operates what exactly?

I'd love to break tradition and get a fourth line to know where the other hand is.

Look, I enjoy CW & all, just not quite as much as all that. Confusing me with Dickinson, clearly.
