Post subject: Haikus
Haiku is the most worthless form of poetry. It's just so damn easy...it doesn't
have to make sense, and it's got a set form that's easy to follow.
Buuut...that's where they're at in Creative Writing, so here ya go~three little
haikus I wrote during class. Behold the worthlessness.  ;;;
Reality slaps
Sirens screech; rubber enflames
Gotta get away
----------------------------
Pause smilling sweetly
Black
daggers hide behind love
Soon to drip red, yes?
----------------------------
Memories open
Crass laughter
bursts, unceasing
Made strangers again
----------------------------

I hate that five-seven-five bullshit.  Putting restraints on writing is
like shackling a workhorse.
We're in agreement that it's worthless. =\

Is it disrespectable for me then to have written haikus? 
 The dumbest thing about the restraints is
that people write them, call them by the name of whatever form of poetry it is,
and yet don't meet the criteria. Many haikus in our book have only 4 syllables
in a line or two.

I don't see why
it would be.
The people that write them incorrectly should be a little worried,
though. =\

Maybe they lost a syllable in translation?

No...I guess they just feel they're special enough not to follow the
rules...which may be alright poetically...but then, why call it a haiku, anyway?

Most of the old-school famous haikus (obviously) were written in Japanese and
such. In English books, the syllables don't come out right. A good example is
the one of a frog jumping into a pond ; water splash sound; or something like
that
