[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Post about any
Topic you wish as long as
You write in haiku







(* 5 syllables, then 7 syllables, then 5 syllables)

 

[whisky]

There are many
Things in life I try to
Do before I die

 

[Gagh]

I'd be lousy at this. As a result I removed my attempt, and I bow to the more creative amongst us.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Nothing needs to rhyme
Just mind the syllable count
Five seven and five

 

[whisky]

Your assuming I know what a syllable is

To me she was married to Basil

NATALIE PORTMAN
NAT NAT NATLAIE PORRT\AMNS
ANNA PAQUINNA

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

It was just a thought
This went smoother at Gawker
I'm a sad panda

 

[curiousa2z]

I will give it a
try as I just love Haiku
herein lies a start....

I'm not good at them either and constantly have to check I'm doing them right...what makes them "good" anyway? Why that number of syllables? NOT KNOCKING HAIKUS OR THIS THREAD, JUST GENUINELY CURIOUS AND WANT TO KNOW MORE.

Every day I post
Seems like always the same thing:
Michelle Trachtenberg

Form is liberation.

Every day I post
Seems like always the same thing:
Michelle Trachtenberg

Tomtrek had to ask
The number of syllables
in the word every

Haikus like Voyager:
Even when they're really bland
It's in the journey

That's not really fair.
Every could be three, not two.
It's a fair question.

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Your grasp of English
Should be stronger - like your grasp
of the Trachtenberg

 

[SAUSAGEMAN]

Tomtrek tells Michelle
"You were meant to be haikued."
Suddenly, curtains.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Thanks for the karma!
Who's the nicest man in town?
(It's Eggs Mayonnaise)

 

[Dr Dave]

Same here.

 

[Mirah]

Same here.

Two sylabbles. (I can't spell the word)
