is so nice and cool

Maybe is not good
But the practices makes it,
the perfection, i mean


this will be my last
If is not succesfull, I'll go
and try to learn it

post on the forum
nearly everyday
time wasted, boredom

games played eight thousand
players killed now almost five
most fallen on world

turtle programming
a monkey moderating
the sheep need herding

Do my eyes deceive?
A Fitz post that is shorter---
Rustling winter wind.

You dare to defy our rules?

to use haikus in ways that

In which case 'miserably' could be said to have 4? (so you have a 5,8,5 stucture there...)

Postmodern haikus
Often break rules just as
Any monkey does.

that's five six and five
bad monkey, bad monkey! no
banana for you.

Much like poetry
Everything in this thread
Is utter rubbish

I don't mean to go off topic, and I'm not trying to be obtuse or a smartass, but what is the fascination with haikus?

Seems like an arbitrary cadence that could have just as easily been something else. Perhaps there's something
I don't know that would enlighten me.

Haikus are an ancient Japanese art. They are a compact form of poetry, that has much to do with the simplistic Japanese aesthetics... Haikus are basically saying very much in very few words. At first glance they seem pointless, but if you really contemplate on them...

ah hell, whatever. It's just fun to write haikus!

The great challenge
building a decent haikus
it's to keep the mean.

Hmm, it does where I come from... Perhaps the lesson is that haikus location-specific...
