Rhin	Haiku is a small poetry with oriental metric that appeared in the XVI century and is very popular, mainly in Japan. It's a contemplative poetry that valorizes nature, color, season, contrasts and surprises. Usually it has 3 lines and 17 syllabes distributed in 5, 7 and 5. It must register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. It's almost like a photo of some specific moment of nature. More than inspiration, one needs meditation, effort and perception to compose a real Haiku. (Bill Higginson)	011228

Dafremen	Daffy's Quake2 Haiku A rocket launcher Feels good in my hands when I Go to rocket jump He should have been dead Instead I lie in pieces He had red armor A statue that breathes? A rock that shoots back at me? No, it's a camper. My heart thumps wildly For I cannot return fire I'm out of ammo. With negative fragz These backflips into lava Don't seem so graceful. He hasn't missed yet Perhaps I should query him "Yes I'm a ratbot!!!" The railgun goes off As the slug speeds to its mark I wait for my frag I called him camper Then I was disconnected Guess he had admin So many gamers Don't be too suprised to find That "chick" is a dude! His insults are good I stop shooting and ask him Where'd he meet my mom? I fragged him at last But advancing I step on My own damned grenade I lost but don't mind Because my heart's full of joy For having played Quake.	011230

Phil	Haiku is 5-7-5, not in syllable, but in the length it takes to read the line. Americanized haiku take toom uch time to read, 3 seconds per poem is a decent standard. Or you could try using 12 syllables instead of 17. The 5-7-5 are measured in the shortest syllable you can say, called mora, or on. The word a, counts as one. The word an, with an n following a vowel, counts as two. Aslo , an elongated vowel is two, so do dipthongs and doubled consonants. There also should also be a description of two, maybe three, sensory experiences, related to a season. Separated by a cutting word, or a stop between the lines, denoting a change in the stream of thought, or be a definite ending to the line.	101022

phil	Go read a classical Japanese haiku and show me how you can get 17 syllables out of it. http://thewordshop.tripod.com/asian/Japan/haikudef.html http://www.poemofquotes.com/articles/haikupoems.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku If you want something more authentic, try a poem of 12 syllables, with the 7 or 5 being one description. Then it should read in about 3 seconds. I was just wondering this today, so I looked it up and found out stuff.	101023
