Haiku Instead?

[cardgame]

A moth flies inside
Muffin sees it, and pounces!
No moths are now alive.

--------------

Muffin is my doggy-poo

A surprise this is
To see this thread updated
My excitement bounds.

This works wet or dry.
It's a shammy; it's a towel.
You'll be saying "WOW".

Spoiler :

Towel is obviously one syllable.

 

[illram]

do not insult me
by trying to claim towel
is one syllable

 

[kulade]

Well I'm sorry, bro.
My accent's a bit southern.
I blame my mother.

 

[illram]

sorry i'm racist
let's have a kool-aid summit;
help me understand

 

[kulade]

Facebook and Twitter.
Old people like to use them,
to feel young again.

Towel is obviously one syllable.

"Towel" contains two.
Check dictionary (dot) com.
Drawl is no excuse!

 

[eoc]

this is my first time knowing of HaiKu
why write it in three lines
can anybody answer me

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

five syllables first
then comes a line with seven
and finish with five

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I am eating pie,
It is good 'cuz it's cherry,
It's bad for you though.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

five syllables first
then comes a line with seven
and finish with five

know that in haiku
onji mark not syllables
count morae instead


one vertical line
is broken by caesurae
sans kireji, 3


in English you see
kireji can't mark structure
thus more lines are used

 

[kulade]

Pedantic art thou,
Magister the Latin nerd,
now with Japanese.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Kulade is right, foo.
Who cares if it's kireji?
Syllables are cool!

 

[kulade]

Ah, Mister Capac.
But In the End, you're the one
Crawling in my Skin.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

But, can you buy that
For 10 Dollah off a store
That has ray of light?

 

[kulade]

Where have my tags gone?

Tagging is a human right!

I won't be oppressed!!!

 

[Huayna Capac357]

"I can has cheezburg?"
Say cool lolcats. Or maybe
Just the very lazy ones.

 

[GinandTonic]

"I can has cheezburg?"
Say cool lolcats. Or maybe
Just the very lazy ones.

"Very" a short word
Though still with two syllables
As does "lazy" too

Five seven seven
Is too many syllables
Breverty is all

To capture moment
Truth of a fleeting instant
Far too much to ask

Nature of content
Beyond us on the forum
Who struggle with form

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I must have forgot
About the haiku's line rules
When I wrote that poem.
