haiku is pwnz you

I thought haiku was meant to be 5/7/5 in syllable structure.

and haiku rhymes with you.

This poem fails. ;P

well, um, I can't count.

5/6/5 is close

if you pronounce pwnz as "powns"

TAKE TWO

RHYMING IS CLICHE
POEMS THAT USE RHYMING ARE BAD
HAIKU IS PWNZ YOU

ps
haiku doesn't rhyme with you if you pronounce them both as if it was roomaji ;p (then it would be basically "yo" for those who don't know)

Poems is two syllables (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=poems) , you're still doing 8 syllables on the 2nd line.


MY TAKE

RHYMING IS CLICHE
POEMS THAT RHYME ARE NOT GOOD
HAIKU IS PWNZ YOU


?

I'm in a haiku mood now.

PLASMATORTURE SUCKS
AT TEH SYLLABLE STRUCTURE
BUT I FORGIVE HIM


Capslock makes everything funnier!

That's 5/8/5.

You just can't get it right, can you? ; ;

Actually

Poems is one syllable depending on how you pronounce it. (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=poem)

Po-em or Pome. =\

I had an English teacher who pronounced it pome and I always thought it sounded too poncy.

POME IS A LAME WORD
I THINK POEM IS BETTER
DISAGREE? GO HOME




But really, whatever. Don't let me restrict your creativity. I just like making haikus. I think they make everything funny. I am a simple boy.

SHE LEFT ME,
SHE'S GONE,
OH WHY ME,
ALON...E.

IT SUCKS,
MAN,
I DUCK,
INTO SHADOWS,
OF BARROWS,
OF HELL,
OH NO.

WHY DOES THE DARKNESS ENVELOP ME,
ALL BECAUSE OF THAT ACCURSED SHE,
SHE TOOK MY HEART AND THEN SHE STUCK IT,
IN A HARD, COLD, DIRTY BUCKET.

THIS HELL I CANNOT FEEL,
IS MINE BEYOND MY ZEAL,
OH GOD I HATE THIS PAIN,
STOP MAKING ME FEEL IT,
AGAIN,

YOUR NAILS WERE LIKE CANTALOPES,
THEY WERE MY LAST AND ONLY HOPES,
YOUR HAIR WAS LIKE A WATERFALL,
YOUR HAIR WAS MY ONE AND ALL,
OH NO, NOW YOU'RE GONE,
I CANNOT GO ON AND ON,
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR,
OH I MISS YOU MORE AND MORE.


And as you see, this poem rhymes,
As every poet on this shrine,
Though that was rather a stretch,
For this impatient wretch,
But as you can see, it is quite a lark,
When you don't, for once, talk about the dark,
Or your girlfriend leaving you,
Or you just feeling oh-so-blue,
Or maybe you falling in love once more,
(My money's on her being a whore!)

But anyway, I hope I've proved,
That with some writing talent you can be moved,
To at least give me a grin, or a smile,
Then maybe you can read it over again in a while-
Wait, you didn't?

Oh well, you all know why I did this,
My heart's only rooted in taking the piss,
So, as you can see, I will, I have, I can,
This is a crappy poem,

Yours,
mrmonkeyman.

Let's write another!
Haiku, that is, because I
enjoy writing them.

This forum is great.
It harbours much hate, yet it
Has no goal nor point.

5/7/5, MIR??!?

5/7/5 is
the format that haiku use
oh the excitement!

(by the way, haiku, being japanese can be both plural or not so my sentence is grammatically correct)

oh optimus prime
you are so very awesome
your poems must rock

The 5-7-5 rule was a japanese one, and went by morae instead of syllables. Because of the differences a lot of modern english haiku doesn't follow the 5-7-5 syllable pattern.

I wrote this a few week's ago:

一人ぼっち

お話がある

声は無い

I'm certain it's very poor... but no one can tell!

Human...um, something
There is a story
It is not

babelfish'd.

a quick translation is:

loneliness

there is something to be said

there is no voice

That sounds like... most haikus.

Yeah, I wrote it as a joke in a topic where someone was complaining about loneliness.



But, uh, it loses it's power in the translation! It's actually written very eloquently in japanese and it simply loses all of it's power in english! Yeah! =\

wow.

apparently, babelfish is not the way to translate haikus.

or much of anything, for that matter.

Still, I like to use it to read auctions on yahoo!japan.

I could grab cafeganesh if needed :P

you should write it in all hiragana/roomaji for the kanji-impaired person that is me :'(

babelfish: almost
always bad to use, except
for simple words, but =\

and I will not stop
using 5/7/5, 'cause
I find it quite fun.

babelfish can be
a pain, but I do not speak
any japanese :(

it would be fun to
have a thread where we just talked
in the haiku form

Dickhead, out the door,
Do not let it hit you where
The good lord split you.

I probably got that old phrase wrong. Damn yanks.

MMM is quite
the intelligent person.
Unlike me, sadly. :'(

That wasn't even an attempt at being insulting. Really. It insulted you more than me.

Sounded like someone was masturbating and typed the sounds he was making...

your point being? It wasnt meant to be
