A haiku uses just a few words to capture a moment and create a picture in the reader’s mind. It is like a tiny window into a scene much larger than itself. Traditionally, haiku is written in three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line.

  1. What is the sound of one hand clapping?

    Sorry, that was a koan.

  2. Haiku is interesting but I much prefer the rhythm of a little bit of good old iambic pentameter myself, such as:

    “If music be the food of love play on” which is read as “if MU-sic BE the FOOD of LOVE play ON”

    …. but I would doubt that they teach that sort of stuff nowadays.

    communication and understanding are often misinterpreted
    compatibility is a masterpiece

  4. I much prefer the limerick… like this one Mr meaty 🙂

    There once was a man from Nantucket
    Who’s dick was so long he could suck it
    he said with a grin
    With his dick by his chin
    if my ear was a cunt, I would fuck it

    Another person who fucks up then blames someone else.

    Not unlike Jian who became sexually violent with people of both sexes then deflected blame onto his victims….Typical abuser/psychopath.
