Haiku for life - argentus - 01-03-2024

Bruising the whisky

I like this! I'm not good at haiku but do enjoy reading it. I, too hope more will contribute.

You're not good at haiku (in your opinion) ... YET.
Compared to a talented writer like Spirimilibilis, I am a complete piker, however I enjoy the challenge of writing haiku. Three lines. First line, five syllables. Second line, seven syllables. Third, line, five syllables.
Some see the format as limiting. I find that it causes a person to think in a different dimension, in ways that you would not have otherwise done. I find that haiku expression inspires eclectic creativity.

Thanks for the explaination, Argentus; I love word puzzles so may have to give it a go!

It's a good thing to get. I started a journal several years ago, that was composed in Haiku. It really changes a person. There isn't -- as far as I've noticed -- a great international acceptance/appreciation of the Haiku metric. Still, that doesn't mean that it can't eventually become something wonderful and important, and even a means of communicating great ideas.

You're not - but I like the word piker. And I abuse the rules of haiku like crazy. I am lawless. But it's a very fun thing to do - I hope this thread catches on. Back when the caffeine wears off and I can settle down enough to abuse haiku some more
Also - it's going to take me some time to learn how to reply/write in this new realm. Which - obviously clueless is obvious

Ever see the movie 1984? Yeah. That's where. ;o)
