Are you Japanese ? is it ? (1644–1694). are you trying to impress Matsuo Bashō.. no? then *** are you doing ?
Shortened (3-5-3)
Words drop fast.
Why count them at all?
No one cares.
Elongated (7-9-7) bletch god why pls make it stop , pls.
Why waste time on this?
Anyone can slap words down.
Skill is not required.
Chaotic (Random Syllables)
Five words here—
now too many in the next
whatever, it’s done ?
Haiku rules are so arbitrary that messing with the syllable count changes nothing. Yet you lame ***** still somehow think It still "counts" somehow. I don't care why.
Haiku is ******* stupid !
obsessing over syllables is the least important part of writing.
Japanese pop and their attempt at anything other than robotic classical perfection is unbearable. ( their jazz is great though )
So why do they care about something so stupid and pointless as the number of syllables when they can't and don't even benefit from it ?
Outside of haiku, they don’t really matter much unless you’re writing structured poetry or song lyrics in certain styles.
Arbitrary rules like that just stifle the mind and creativity
Anyone can do it it takes literally ZERO talent.
What I did In my work 'Don't quote me on that".
That is brutally difficult, not just hard but time consuming.
Requires research to get the quotes right .
The timing and the nuance of the context.
I bet 99% of you couldn't do what I did there worth a **** and even if you did try it would only be a weak pathetic copy because, I already used all the best quotes.
Prove me wrong, go ahead and try.
You can't whereas I could Haiku till I'm blue in the face and it wouldn't help me become a better anything , let alone a better writer or poet.
Why not jam a corkscrew up your nose?
It's about as useful, wanted or productive.
I'm only doing this to make a point ;
Traditional (Nature Theme)
Raindrops hit the ground,
Counting them—five, then seven—
What a waste of time.
Modern (More Freeform, No Nature)
Syllables don’t mean
a **** thing at all. Yet here
I am, still counting.
Satirical (Mocking the "Deep" Haiku Style)
Oh, great emptiness,
fill my soul with pointless lines.
I have learned nothing.
There you go—proof that anyone can do it, and it takes no effort at all. Crosswords and soap boxes slicker than fresh pooh in the rain
Haiku ?
What you want ISN’T POETRY
Nor, is what you are making . Its a crossword puzzle!
Restricted,
confined
not necessarily useless, but unwanted by the rest of us.
What I want is
not poetry .
ITS A
SOAPBOX ,
not respected
Obeyed !
(Don’t expect us to revel in your artificial cleverness. I can’t candy coat my sledgehammer for the smug little puzzle palace where people confuse compression with clarity and restraint with relevance or innovation. )
It’s not the form that’s brilliant . Neither is a form that hinders it. It’s the purported slickness of mediocrity pretending to be insight.
Like rain-slick ****: shiny on top, but still just ****** over processed garbage.
No real expression had syllable count as its impetus !
Why do you Want to mimic Basho, any way ? Are you a scared feckless samurai boy toy trapped in a ***** house that serves tea ? Are you socially stunted and rambling through a whispering ******* zen garden to pretend enjoyment in polite torture ?
Emasculated wannabe samurai-boy’s tea-party , crybaby daddy issues art act, much ?
