A haiku forum / game where EVERYTHING is a / haiku... (Come join us!)

I haven't studied haikus since high school. I expect this thread will drop far very quickly because it calls for active thought rather than off-the-cuff answers, but who knows? Maybe it will catch on! ^_^FPLOON said:
Remind me of the rules for haikus, please.
Normally they're poems of three lines and a set number of syllables, 17 total, traditionally arranged 5-7-5. Bonus points for referencing seasons in some way. Seasons of the year mind you, not salt & pepper.Copper Zen said:
OT:
Hippopotamus
Will he sink or will he swim?
Hippopotamus
Also, actual 18th century (IIRC) Japanese haiku:
Waga oya no
Shinuru toki ni mo
He o kokite
(Even as my father
Lay dying
I farted.)
Just a monster here
On the internet, typing
Slower with just hooks.
I never got these
Haiku, why is it so great?
Poetic format.
Like Shakespeare's Sonnets
They follow a set of rules
Are they different?
I have yet to see
Haiku, layered like Donne's writings
But they contemplate.
Things like life and death.
Seasons, animals, humans
But sometimes just farts.

My last haiku sucked
But it still was a classic.
People have no taste.
Now I write some more
With originality.
Still these are easy.
Haiku is an art?
It is just basic counting.
Yet it's poetic.
Now I take my leave,
As it is a little late.
I will be back soon.
A blurry-faced man,Teoes said:
Confused on the day of week.
Or just got days off.
Is the blur a sign?
When drunk, vision is blurry.
Or is it deeper?
His life is blurry,
He can't make out distinct shapes...
I guess he is drunk.
Now to bide my time,
To wait for the perfect post
To make my reply.
I have spent much time.
contemplating this haiku.
I must wait to share.

Written by a paramour
That was nice of him
See username sucks
Avatar is angry man
Don't know what he's from.
Mr Username Sucks
Where is your avatar from?
I simply must know.
Where did this thread go?
I could not find it in list
Had to go through quote.
These are my days off
Might watch Apocalypse Now
And play Papers, Please.
Ok let do this.
So we have to speak like this?
It is not that hard.
Delivery come.
A film, soundtrack and a book.
Time to read that book.

"Angry man" avatarTeoes said:
Not actually angry
Just a true badass.
King of explosions,
AND EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPS!
A true gentleman.
Let me introduce,
Here now, from Borderlands 2,
He is MR. TORGUE!
Now I wait once more
To post my true masterpiece.
Need the right moment.
Till Sunday I wait,
For then I will have returned.
Don't let this thread die.
Fear my magic card,
Blue Eyes power increases,
Your end has arrived
Eyes like a forest,
Hair like a brilliant ember,
Her beauty unmatched
A axe forgotten,
A button not to be pressed,
A bomb ass hype throw
Reading these Haikus,
I wish to play Borderlands,
Zero is the best
A lone starved wolf hunts,
Without a pack for guidance,
Surely it will die
Dry like the desert,
My mouth yearns for some water,
I am so thirsty
The Escapist is,
Like a beacon to the great,
No trolls are here
The nights far too warm,
The days burn like a furnace,
I hate the sun forever
Faniction is good,
Though you must search for the greats,
Misspellings abound
All these Hiakus,
Each tell a different tale,
I like writing them

Gah, you are all fools.
I leave for four days, thread dies.
Thread,rise from your grave!
I was biding time,
But I will wait no longer
For a post to quote!
Fine, I guess I'll wait.
My masterpiece needs context.
Get posting, people!

I have returned here
For I was away a few days
But now I am back.
I feel I should write
Something about recent events
But I'm dishevelled.
As Zen predicted
This thread is rather fragile.
It won't last that long.
