I settle for one of an alternate poetry style. And yes, I'm aware this isn't strictly following the rules for the style.


I set out to read from The Glade
seeking wise posts I hoped had been made.
But na'er a one did I find,
written with a sound mind.
So I bonked 'em all with my spade.

17 syllables, most commonly written in English as 5-7-5, is my understanding.

There's not really a way to "translate" the haiku format to English because of fundamental differences in how the languages are written. 5-7-5 is just an approximation. My vague recollection is that in addition to the syntax issues, a true haiku is about nature, and the "turn" in the 3rd line is supposed to make you somehow reinterpret or reevaluate the first two lines.

What about Basho? Can I can plagiarize Basho?

Quote:
Do you blame Monet?
His gardens in Giverny
He captured
And lovely Basho
His plunking ponds and toads
Enraptured

The fate of Kurt Cobain
Junk coursing through his veins
And young Virginia Woolf
Death came and hung her coat

Love of color, sound and words
Is it a blessing or a curse?
Enraptured

Signs point to ... everyone else has done it, but that still doesn't make it right.
