Haiku Instead?

[Silent Spectre]

Civilization
Really takes up too much time
Why won't people reply?

 

[Raisin Bran]

its a light you can't see
its a voice you can't hear
its Silent Spectre

Reference to Season
Is the proper thing to do
When writing Haiku

 

[Rambuchan]

Talk of the Season
syllables of 5-7-5
this makes a haiku

 

[Mise]

Clouds cover my sky
Winds mess up my hair
My hat blew away.

 

[Rambuchan]

Rules are to be broke
One wonders why it should be
Rap threads get locked not this

I wrote a haiku once, but it got me into trouble.

I can't imagine anyone getting into trouble for a haiku. Are you sure it wasn't a limerick instead? Those are usually the ones that are a little edgy.

 

[Rambuchan]

Please, don't start me on the limericks!

As I saw this thread:
Brain says: Alphabetic rhymes
Can be way more fun.

1st Haiku A B C as starting letters, 2nd: D E F, 3rd GHI etc...

 

[Bartleby]

Do you mean to say
Each Haiku from now on must
Fit with that pattern?

 

[Rik Meleet]

Got it! I would say.
Has to be a real Haiku.
In Alpha order.

What's a limerick?

What's a limerick?

A-A-B-B-A type rhyme.

Edit: I'll show you a Norwegian one:

En ung konvertitt fra Sodoma (A)
Dro barbeint som pilgrim til Roma (A)
Men en kveld tok han fri (B)
Og bedrev sodomi (B)
Til de fant ham i gaten i koma (A)

 

[Rambuchan]

What's a limerick?

Here's one in English:

There was a man from Madras
Whose balls were made out of brass
When they jingled together
They played 'stormy weather'
And sparks shot out of his arse!

 

[thetrooper]

Brilliant!

You see the pattern there Husky?

 

[Bartleby]

Jeez, it's not easy!
Keep trying, we can do this
Last time I will though.

edit:

 

[Abaddon]

Confusing is haiku
is this it?
Probably not
