Lady Bassett Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 Oh, don't pay any attention to me, Lad. I just wax philosophical sometimes. Go on about your business or write some Haiku or plunder and pillage... something piratical. Here's another one: June bug Caught in my hair Dammit This mountain is mine!
Matty Bottles Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 This one, for high seas combat: Sweeter than flowers, The cry of wounded sailors and that brimstone stink. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum

Nigel Posted December 14, 2003 Author Posted December 14, 2003 Can anybody explain the parameters for Haiku, for those who want to give it a go? Sir Nigel - aka "Sir Freelancealot"; aka "Ace of Cads"; aka "JACKPOT!!" (cha-CHING!) "Mojitos BAD!...Lesbians with free rum GOOD!!!"
Lady Bassett Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 I haven't checked to see if any of the above make the Haiku cut... I'm certain mine dont. It's more SpamHaiku coming from me. This mountain is mine!
Lady Bassett Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 It's a contemplative poetry that valorizes nature, color, season, contrasts and surprises. Usually it has 3 lines and 17 syllabes distributed in 5, 7 and 5. It must register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. It's almost like a photo of some specific moment of nature. More than inspiration, it's need meditation, effort and perception to compose a real Haiku. Pirated from: The Art of Haiku Poetry So, wondering about one's lineage would apply in the nature category, I presume? This mountain is mine!
Nigel Posted December 14, 2003 Author Posted December 14, 2003 Naturally. Sir Nigel - aka "Sir Freelancealot"; aka "Ace of Cads"; aka "JACKPOT!!" (cha-CHING!) "Mojitos BAD!...Lesbians with free rum GOOD!!!"
Merrydeath Posted December 14, 2003 Posted December 14, 2003 The seasonal theme. Each Haiku must contain a kigo, a season word, which indicate in which season the Haiku is set. For example, cherry blossoms indicate spring, snow indicate winter, and mosquitoes indicate summer, but the season word isn't always that obvious. No blossoms and no moon, and he is drinking sake all alone! could tranlate to: No sails and no moon and he is drinking rum all alone! Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.
