Re: Haikus

When I first came to this thread I didnt know what Haikus were.

I went and read the wiki on it. After looking at various examples...I think Im more confused than before...wtf is this?

Re: Haikus

I know it seems strange
but the syllables must match
the pattern five and

Seven Syllables
On The Second Line You See
And then back to five.

Re: Haikus

Five syllables here.
In this line, there are seven.
Finally, five more.

Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Trillian: Five to one against and falling. Four to one against and falling… Three to one, two, one. Probability factor of one to one. We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can’t cope with is therefore your own problem.

They cut some letters
Out of the word syllable
Why did they do that?

Re: Haikus

In this universe
Nothing may exist at all
What is existance?

You may be sitting
And reading this haiku
But you may not be.

You could be here
You could be anywhere in
This big Universe.

Fear prevents the soul
From ascending to its goal –

After joining Twitter, I celebrated by writing this haiku:

[list=*]
[*]My joy is complete
Now I’m in Twitter’s elite!
Twitter, twitter, tweet![/*]
