still rolling

another plura-mark haiku


the past can be sticky
living is in the leaping
I think you should jump

Neither of those are haiku.

aww crap

its 5-7-5 isnt it?

You're missing the seasonal reference necessary to make it a haiku. You've got a senryu there.

sen·ryu : a 3-line unrhymed Japanese poem structurally similar to haiku but treating human nature usually in an ironic or satiric vein

Nothing wrong with a Senryu, they're perfectly nice things.

Ack! My fault actually. He asked me what the pattern was, and as I loathed freshman English class (the teacher was a horny pervert), and that was the year we studied poetry heavily, I forgot that detail.

*sigh* I need sleep.

*cough, ahem*

*grin*

*smiles sheepishly*

Well, I believe I told you the formation of a haiku on...oh...three hours sleep?

Not (completely) my fault! :P

You're forgiven because your user icon is adorable.

Why thank you! I was actually, like, erm, thirteen in that picture? My mother finds it to be one of her favorites. *shrug*

I have to admit, your icon always gives me a good chuckle when I see it. *grin*

Thanks, this one is actually my favorite, but it isn't as all purpose as the fairy.

My poetry-fu is swift and powerful.

[identity profile] lima-pcp.livejournal.com 2004-08-02 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes it is, you damned
cannuck. Can't get a haiku
done right? You just suck.

[identity profile] plural.livejournal.com 2004-08-03 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
as was pointed out
they are senryu

and with the exception of cheating
by considering "sticky" one syllable

they both follow 5-7-5

so *PHHBBBBbbbbbbt*
