Madz Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 A long-standing obsession/pass-time of mine. So eloquent and convenient, on a bus, when the Telecom puts you on hold, when waiting in general. My favourite way to capitalise on insomnia. They fit into SMS and make good, all round creative fodder. A form of poetry originating in Japan in the 19th century, the rules are: three lines, 5, 7, and 5 syllables, in that order. There are, of course, many deviations from this and other forms of Haiku but this is the one I was first intro'd to. Here's the fruit of a particularly tedious wait for a file conversion, inspired by a recent travel-incident: Face fighting footpath Spitting rocks and expletives Asphalt takes the win Anyone else make Haikus? Show me whatcha got. Another example: Zombie pool party At the bottom of the pool People eat people See? Insta-fun! Huzzah! (yes I'm a little bored, so sue me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
