Alright... thank you Ravuya for bringing up the Haikus. I remember them from school like... 10 years ago. What''s a Haiku? It''s a japanese way to create a poem. It has 5-7-5 syllables. Example: I have a penis (I-have-a-pe-nis = 5) So I can aim my pee good (So-I-can-aim-my-pee-good = 7) I am in heaven (I-am-in-hea-ven = 5) Alright... your turn! /MindWipe

Haikus are teh suck.
They hardly sound like poems.
Don''t you agree now?

A leaf soars swiftly,
aloft on Spring''s vital breath.
You''re all dumbasses.

KoRn really sucks hard,
Their stupid fanboys are dumb,
God, please stop the pain.

So is this haiku
just because we can count the
lines and syllables?

No, it''s really not.
Haiku are in Japanese,
and they don''t suck ass.

By the way, haiku is 5-7-5-7-7. Tanka is 5-7-5.

And now for Finnish pleasure:

Musta kirvesmies
Kolkuttaa ovellani
Utu ikkunan
takana tihkuu sisään
Hämy hiipii tupaani

And a tanka for the rest:

Oh stupidity
Oh profound idiocy
F this S - ha ha.

I'm not drunk. Just very tired.

[EDIT: Yeah. I was wrong. Tanka is 5-7-5-7-7 and Haiku is 5-7-5. Gonna go kill myself now.]

I see a repost.
Should I be mean and close it?
Or just let it ride?

So what do you think
about sites teaching Haiku
as just 5-7-5?

I say: Holy Crap I''m Wrong.. Apparently our elementary school teacher taught it wrong. It seems the longer thing is a Tanka and the shorter one a Haiku. Go figure...
