Haiku Instead?

[Veritass]

Even if you use
All seventeen syllables
You can say nothing.

 

[Elta]

Tres mariposas
volando entre las ramas.
Una se aleja.

.... Haiku is a million times easier in spanish


! Cuantos pajaros
habitando el arbol!
Hubo un ruido.



( I know the accents arn't where they should be and there are no upside down exclimation points, I can't make them without bothering with the char map.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Elta doesn't want
to use the character map
¡Qúe barbaridad!

 

[Elta]

Potuguese (stolen from a song )
Ê Ô! O vento
soprou! Ê Ô! A
folha caiu!

In English

Hey oh the wind blew
hey oh the leaf fell - this does
not translate well Ô

I tryed

 

[Elta]

Haikus in english
are hard broken, famished, and
sad he gave it up

 

[Swedishguy]

Tinky-Winky, Dip-
Sy, Lala, Poh, Teletub-
bies, TELETUBBIES, MAN!

Oh, that's not very
tactful, is it? Gee, I am
awful at Haiku.

 

[Elta]

A few other languages ( I will translate so the mods don't get mad)

Germen -

99 rote ballons
ein kleines Spielzeuggeschäft
Geld von den Zicklein

99 red ballons
and a business
the kids give me money


French -

mon Français est mau
mon Italien est plus mauvais
vous avez lu mes mots

My french is bad

you read my words



Italian -

la prima volta
le scimmie hanno mangiato
cuori degli uomini

From before time
the monkeys ate
the hearts of men

Portuguese

paciência Saudade meu
vai coma porque?

patience saudade* me
will eat why?

* There is no good translation for that word

Occitan -

Mal Banana saca
copar mi esquina amont
colina doler!!!!!!!!

Bad bag of Bananas

up the hill it hurts!

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Elta aloitti
kenties uuden, hienon,
CFC-tavan.

Elta started
probably a new, fine
CFC-habit.

 

[Veritass]

Oh, that's not very
tactful, is it? Gee, I am
awful at Haiku.

Swedish truth at last!
Does the Pope s*** in the woods?
Are bears Catholic?

 

[Taliesin]

I think, Veritass,
In the popular image,
Bears are Orthodox.

 

[Catharsis]

I use lots of en-
jambment to create atmos-
phere, cheat at haiku

 

[Taliesin]

Sometimes my haiku are just sentences with seventeen syllables.

 

[Algan]

Sometimes my haiku are just sentences with seventeen syllables.

Hey! You broke the rules!
Sentences must be written
In Five-Seven-Five

 

[Birdjaguar]

"Moso" breaks the rules
when melting snows come early--
Breakfast shoots with soy.

 

[Chairman Meow]

Tensor calculus
Causes many brains to hurt.
Dyadic product.

 

[The Yankee]

FedEx, don't be dumb
You can't leave boxes for all
In the vestibule

 

[The Yankee]

Swedish truth at last!
Does the Pope s*** in the woods?
Are bears Catholic?

The Holy Father
Strutting around the woodlands
Like their farts don't stink

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Protestant pastors
"Oh, go have sex with your wife!"
Catholic one says

 

[Japanrocks12]

Wow today sucked ass.
I can't even think of a
cohesive haiku.

 

[Veritass]

Find peace with Haiku.
We strive to better ourselves.
Dog and grass just be.
