Excuse me for this
So-blatant self-promotion.
'Twas rather hard work.


It looks really neat.
But bloody hard, I do think.
Later I'll write one.

I wrote one of those
Did a damn good job I'd say
But it was quite hard

As for another
I think I will pass this time
19 lines? Too much.

Please do. Mine was poo.
Backglass did a better one,
Others sure could, too.

My only excuse
For my rubbish poetry
Is it's in my blood.

As I'm from Dundee
William McGonagall's
Ghost lives on in me.

I tried, oh I tried.
But my brain... Lo! It is fried.
As I said, later.

....

... A fog leaps into an ancient pond.
... The sound of water.

... (That's the official English translation of what is considered the greatest haiku ever written, Matsuo Basho, 17th Century, during his travels into the northern lands of Hokkaido).

... Translations disregard syllabic count, as Japanese and English are completely incompatible, as far as "syllables" are concerned (the sound of "n" is one syllable in Japanese).

... Though personally I prefer his Autumn piece...

... A crow alights on a leafless branch
... Fall of an Autumn day.

Those blow donkey cock.
Mine are a whole lot better,
they make much more sense.

I was just joking.
Don't get upset about it,
I'm sure those were great.

Why did this thread die?

did anyone else?

Aye, I don't know why.
I was glad it was revived
But again, it died.

By the way, when I
Said Haikus were crap, I lied
I overstated.

Really, I was just
Pushing villanelles as well
Haikus, man, are swell.

You must admit though,
It's quite hard to carry on
A conversation.

It's hard to pick the
Words you need, and then fit them
Snugly in a hai - aaargh!
