Public List: Haiku together

A list of 169 words by michaelchang.

About

This is an open list and you can contribute to the poetry.

The traditional haiku is a Japanese poem which consists of a pattern of 5, 7, 5. This pattern is the rule of this list:

Enter a sentence of 5 syllables after a sentence of 7 syllables and visa versa.

I don't know if this will work or what will come out of it, but lets find out... I'll ad the first sentence of 7 syllables.

    MC, can you check again whether you've made this a public list? I don't see a word entry field up there as I usually would. :-)

    Thanks! Oh, and great idea for a list, by the way!

    Oh wait, I've just been alternating 5s and 7s. I guess I thought we were just making haiku fragments. I wish there was a way to rearrange the lines so they actually work in the current order.

    Uselessness, you're the Haiku Kid! MC, you pinched one of my tags: "tie it to your hips." :-)

    Trivet--that's a scream! And it sounds like one of my haikus.

    sweet jesus uselessness, you are a haiku machine!

    U, you even sneaked in one of chained_bear's haikus! (I'd know it anywhere.)

    I am shamed to say it's the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word haiku these days. It's one of the best things I've ever read. I couldn't not plagiarize it!!

    December 20, 2007

  • reesetee commented on the list public-list-haiku-together

    Haha! Same here! But I tried to restrain myself. Just when I was about to give in, you posted it. ;-)

    FYI for everyone else: see here (in comments) for its first appearance on Wordie.
