Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 11:11 pm Post subject: Haiku Ultimate Challenge
|
|
|
This thread is inspired by my great-great-grandfather DWill.
This is to test your Haiku skills and see who is the ultimate Haiku champion!
At the end of the month I will tally up the votes to see who takes the glory!
Here are the rules, courtesy of ehow.com:
Step 1: Think about a theme for your haiku and write down some of the words that come to mind on that theme.
Step2: Organize your thoughts roughly onto three lines. First, set the scene, then expand on that by expressing a feeling, making an observation or recording an action. Keep it simple.
Step3: Polish your haiku into three lines, the first with five syllables, the second line with seven syllables and the third line with five syllables. It may take some time and substitution of words to make it fit.
Here is my masterful Haiku
Dog is small on bed
Eat much weighs much bad on joints
No funny breath dog sleep
Goodluck everyone!  |

My brain is so fried
Haiku won't make itself known
Oh I hate Monday |

Darn, you know what?... There are 6 syllables in my stupid Haiku.
Awesome Haiku Constance. You are the winner due to my disqualification!
CONGRATULATIONS!  |
