The Haiku Thread

So basically a thread where you write a haiku about what you are currently doing or what is on your mind, and then people can try to guess what yours is or they can just speculate or whatever. I'll start since, obviously, I am the first to post

Alright, first of all, you both suck -- neither of those are English haiku. 5-7-5 remember? Unless you're translating from Japanese. P

Technically, it can also be 3-5-3. Even more technically, they are not truly restricted by syllable count (syllable count is more relevant in Japanese than in English).

Actually, Japanese Haiku's don't count syllables but instead the sounds of the words.

I know this (they count "On"), which is why I said "unless translating from Japanese." P
Still, the English convention is 5-7-5, so just admit I'm right and you're all wrong, then fix your damn haiku!

I was actually referring to Ilan, but I refuse to fix my Haiku as there's nothing wrong with it.
So there. P

Fire is one syllable people.
What, do you freaks say "fi-ur" or something??? No, I don't say "far" I say, well, "fire."

Surprisingly enough, apparently others have trouble with this too, given the number of hits via Google. But Mirriam-Webster and Dictionary.com both show the word with no syllable breaks. Ergo, one syllable.

I do say "fi-ur," and I do enjoy how devoted dmorris is to being right in every situation.
