Captain Chaos Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 What's to be confused about? Lovely Haiku Mary. Steve The contemporary Haiku (Japanese form of poetry) consists of: Use of three (or fewer) lines of no more than 17 syllables in total. see: Haiku Quote

Jerry Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 And your haiku illustrated the necessary discipline and brevity. I've struggled but can't come up with the discipline. My favorite Japanese haiku -- 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables is: The drizzling rain of Lake Hakone the edge of the water is lost. Ooops, I couldn't even re-create that famous one properly, but there was the idea. Basho? Quote
