Hi! Koo

[barbados]

Not sure if this should be here or in the Games room, but a former forum always had a thread for Haiku, and I thought it would be nice to introduce here.

For those that don't know, a Haiku is a simple verse of 3 lines, first with five syllables, the second with seven, and the third with five.


 I'm so tired
Why are people so tiresome
My back hurts.

Over to the floor

[tetsabb]

Surely the last line should be
My bloody back hurts.
?😉

[Bondee]

And the first line should have two more syllables, unless you're singing it like John Lennon.

I put helium
In my neighbour's pigeon loft
This is a high coo

A Scots cow wandered
to the top of a mountain.
It was a high coo.

Five, then seven, five.
On any little topic,
Just three little lines.

People stand in line
To say they scaled Everest
This is a high queue

[Bondee]

Five syllables here
Another seven go here
This is a haiku

I often wonder if computer error messages would be better received if written more gently, or in verse. Perhaps haiku would be the ideal form:

The webgate is barred
Caution is the surest shield
Where thieves lie hidden

[tetsabb]

Not reliable
For signs of intelligence
They say of IQ

Snow-bound Kathmandu
Heaven’s mandate lie all slain
Thus came a high coup
