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.

How is the terminal liquid 'l' in "title" different from the terminal liquid 'l' in "aisle"?
Aisle is a diphthong
Title's t twixt ī and əl:
Syllable onset
So "dial" is one syllable, then?
At least Tank can count.
Apex, Bonk, and other tards

I curse you for inadvertantly drawing attention to my garbled syntax, Bonk.
And I was trying to compliment you!
My teacher was drunk
We found hooch inside her desk
Now I'm a moran
*true story, including the part about me being a moran. My sixth grade language arts teacher in Glen Ellyn was constantly drunk, and I had her last bell that year when she was good and lit.

Haiku thread: fascinating
Chicago Cubs, no.
There was a young man of Japan
Whose limericks haikus never would scan
When told this was so
He replied "Yes, I know
But I always like to try to get as many words into the last line as I possibly can."
EDIT : much better.

Some of you act like you don't have a father. If you say you hope Santo dies, well I hope your father dies. Right in front of you and unexpectedly. For those of you whose fathers have already passed, I'm really sorry. I'm totally cool with him reducing his game schedule to about 6 innings a week and some pre and post game gurgling. But Jesus H. Christ, you guys could chill a little.
