Express something about the Sweet FA in haiku

[GWS Goose]

Based on this article I recently read, almost none of these are haikus:

Why “No 5-7-5”? - NaHaiWriMo

Write at least one haiku a day during the month of February — and beyond! Make every month National Haiku Writing Month!

www.nahaiwrimo.com

I read the article. It is a classic example of someone hair splitting to try and feel smarter than everyone else.

yep, Japanese and English are different, it is sounds, which is fractionally different to syllables.

So it was written by someone on BigFooty then? My guess is Grand Uncle Horace.

 

[The Half Back]

Something we all love
Will never die
Expansion?
Everything is fine
The Half Back
Fred Medal
Anyone is welcome

A still mountain pond,
The Filth Wizard leaps,
splash!

Nope. I am not a haiku writer

Grand Uncle Horace
Is not a haiku writer
Headless sad reacts

 

[GWS Goose]

We are the Gumbies
We are winning hearts and minds
but not many games

 

[serial_thrilla]

Us Dragons like gifs,
We do not care what you think.
Oh * off. No u.

 

[Red mist]

Tranquil Forrest ground,
a strong breeze rises,
Wooshette blossoms.

 

[Red mist]

Red mist on the battlefield,
retrieve your sword,
from the dead carcass.

a haiku isnt a puzzle?

 

[Bastyy]

I'm a Headless Fan
We will never have a fight
Very nice and cool

 

[Red mist]

a haiku isnt a puzzle?

Nah nah nah,
yeah nah yeah,
nah yeah yeah nah.

Point more seems to be there the 5-7-5 thing is a superficial criteria for a haiku. Just like how a poem doesn't need to rhyme to be a poem.

Winning is quite fun
My win rate in Sweet is s**t
One more loss, I'll snap

This league was once mine
I left it but still loved it
I’m still the best here

 

[Headless]

This league was once mine
I left it but still loved it
I’m still the best here

This might be the shortest post I've ever seen you make.

Unsettling.

[Tonga Bob]

A wanky poem
Doesn’t even rhyme, Headless
This is some bullshit

 

[Tonga Bob]

Byrinion

My hot take for you
Byron was a campaigner
Couldn’t rhyme for sh*t

 

[Red mist]

My hot take for you
Byron was a campaigner
Couldn’t rhyme for sh*t

Well, he just blessed your mind then. Living in the gutter, looking at the stars.

My island’s Tonga
Has no coronavirus
Stay off my island

My island’s Tonga
Has no coronavirus
Stay off my island

Frigate birds like to nest,
And then take craps,
Thanks for Beiruit. x

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

I was making haikus
so many seasons in the past
get your own schtick

 

[GremioPower]

With all my (short) expertise
Listen! I will only tell you this
Real haiku must be in Japanese

P.S.: In Portuguese, we call it “hai-kai.”
