Haiku for Desipiots
« on: July 09, 2010, 12:44:54 PM »
Haiku, plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 moras (or on), in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively.[1] Although haiku are often stated to have 17 syllables,[2] this is inaccurate as syllables and moras are not the same. Haiku typically contain a kigo (seasonal reference), and a kireji (cutting word). In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to parallel the three phrases of Japanese haiku. 

Come morans and post
seventeen moras, no more
the best of your brains

Not good, but the best that I could do with "moras"
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

I hate haiku because there is actually some site on ChicagoNow called Cubs in Haiku... Really? Can we find something more useless to blog? CUBS IN PETRARCHAN!

I say bravo to you sir, bravo.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

We really need 2 (and I'm sure there's a 3rd developing) threads for this.
