RE: Haiku
From: Robert Seeberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] When I decided to write those, I went to look at a few Haiku websites and noted that the experts bent the rules whenever they felt like it. Not just the seasons but the number of syllables too. Golly gee whilikers I thought. I can ignore rules as good as the next guy. So I did. G Yes, the syllable restrictions don't make a lot of sense in English, its got a whole different structure to Japanese. But that's as far as I go! The satori (enlightenment) is critical, it's the point of haiku for mine. And the seasonal reference (kigo) invoke a physicality, a sense of place that brings it home. One can be fairly subtle about the seasons bit though. Those ones about the blue screen of death etc. I think the sense of season/place is one sitting in front of ones computer, and so it works. Keeping it real, so to speak. Without seasons and a sense of satori, I think it looses its hakuiness. Not to say its bad, but its not haiku. There is a name for it, which escapes me right now. Five, Seven, Five, A hint of season, then cut. To Satori. Anytime you want to play dueling Haiku, I'll be game. Sounds like fun! And please ignore the Bear when he calls me Bob.

Re: Haiku
At Toronto Trek in 2001, there was a Vogon Poetry contest. I entered, and decided to write some Vogon haiku (the idea being that there was this Vogon who was just SO bloody-minded that he was not content simply to write bad poetry but was insistent on writing haiku. Here's what I wrote: Space is really big Really, really, really big [imagine the poet counting on his fingers to make sure he gets enough syllables] Really, really big Space is really dark Really, really, really dark Really, really dark Space is big and dark Just like my bowel movements Gosh, that one is huge! When the time came to read it out loud to the other contestants, I almost couldn't read it, I was laughing so loud. Needless to say, I won. -- Tom Beck my LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/tomfodw/ I always knew I'd see the first man on the Moon.
