As if they would ever send me such things.... :\

Kay ... email sent.

You never know. They may think they can trust you.

Well ... haiku (as an art form) is based on a certain number of syllables stretched over three lines, which is easier (of course) to do in Japanese, especially as they do not have articles (a, the, to, etc.) and many things are implied in the words themselves.

Also, haiku often is meant to have several layers of meaning at once - often an external occurrence in the world reflecting some reality going on inside the poet. Not all haiku, of course, but definitely the stuff that has come to be regarded by the Japanese as most representative of the art.

So, I honestly did not "officially" run your haiku through the "poem-imeter test", but from what I remember I thought they were good.

Received - Thanks Aeson.

So ... have you ever tried to write such things according to the strict rules of Haiku Fru?

It can actually be quite difficult.

No problem. Try to use the info for good and not evil.

I know I had to write some poetry in high school I'll see if I can dig it up. If I do I'll start up a new thread for it.

Don't worry sir - fear not. The worst that could happen would be if I were to suddenly pop up in your store one day and say: "Hello Aeson!", slap down a pic of my avatar in an envelope, and then walk out of the store.

Myc you didn't only pass Aurora, you blew her out of the water. Any chance of letting her catch up?

 

[Mycanid]

Dunno about blowing her out of the water ... she racked up something like 100 posts yesterday and today. I am sure things will slow down with me. Especially as the workload increases. Which I foresee happening soon, actually. Before ya know it she will have passed me again.

Kay ... sandwich done. I have to get to work here. I'll look in later on folks.
