My Haiku

[seph ir oth]

I see you walk down
the street with the girl I love,
and I'm like, haiku.

 

[Bartuc08]

I read your Haiku,
It was like reading poo-poo,
and I thought, haiku.

haha, sorry seph

What's a Haiku? lol, seems like a poem, but not a poem :banghead:

@xPass:

Then you don't know what a poem is.

What is a poem?

 

[Monsterous]

In my own words, i'd say a Poem is an expression of emotion utilized in a structured flow.

 

[Ninva]

But does it have to be that, or is poem free for interpretation? What makes a poem a poem, and what makes a story a story? There are narrative poems, so you can not say that a story has a plot because that's not entirely true. Many poems have plots, settings, and characters too. Take epics for an instance. Yet it seems like most people agree that poems are for some reason shorter than stories. Why?

Asking what poetry means is like asking what life means, Obviously the answer is cake.

Verse 1:

I see you driving,
round town with the girl I love
and I'm like, haiku.

I guess the change in
my pocket wasn't enough,
and I'm like, haiku.

Nice, ha.

But what is life?

But what is life?

We have no idea

A poem is how you choose to see it. I choose to see it diffrently than others possibly.

 

[Ninva]

But if you say that about poetry, then why couldn't you say the same for anything? Can I call a haiku a math?

 

[Sajin]

The answer to everything.. is....

fourty two

You could if you wished, you manipulate words to fit the syllable count. 3 syllables + 2 syllables is 5 syllables.
Ultimately, you could perceive poems as anything. I could see it as a giant glass orb hanging over a cliff with a green light attached. The glass orb represents the pure emotion, the light shows it, whilst hanging over the cliff means its a dangerous/hard thing.

 

[thewrongvine]

I don't get why people always have to make special cases for these things... poetry is "jumbo you guys said" in literature. You can't just perceive poems as anything you want. That's unfair to everything else. How about math then? Or a car. Or a pencil. There's no clear definition for anything in the world. However, the general population sees it as something, and that's what it is.

o.o

Hey ...

Hey guys ...

I didn't mean to start an argument

 

[thewrongvine]

Nobody's arguing,
It's okay. It was a good haiku, I liked it.

 

[Ninva]

Yep, ditto.

 

[xPass]

It's nice, and they almost started a [size=+2]debate[/size] here. That's cool and you should feel honoured, lol (Cause just 3 sentences can spark off a debate, that's new )

 

[thewrongvine]

Do you people not know what a haiku is?

Also, it's a reference to a song. If you don't get the haiku here, heh.
