Now I had heard in Japan Haiku writing was a really respected skill, and that great poets would write them as love letters.

It seems to me it's pretty easy to write one, why would this be such a respected skill? Did I get that part all wrong, or is it way harder to write these in Japanese? Did there used to be more rules?)

*The beauty of haiku is in creating a maximum of expression with a minimum of words. Trying to say all you want to say while constrained by the limits imposed in this form of writing engenders the respect. It probably is harder to do in Japanese. And with that said...*

Okay BossHog, you said we should call out illegal Haiku's. I'm not sure on this one. (Sorry JF don't mean to pick on ya) :wink:

. I guess the middle line is legal if "fire" counts as 2 syllables as in Fi-er, but I'm thinking its only one syllable. Can I get a ruling?

Yes, I'm a word geek.... :roll:

Though I love that "haiku," Hanburger is right. . . :oops:

I pronounce Fire Fi Er. That's two syllables.

Dude!!! You're ruining the thread. At least Haikuizize it:

Link will put to rest
THN's spelling debate.
Fuego split in two.

:wink:

I stand corrected :oops:

and bow to your superior syllabic skills =D>

ChrisHanburger · Post by **ChrisHanburger** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 3:07 pm

I stand corrected
syllabically better
Yes, you are the man

JansenFan · Post by **JansenFan** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 3:29 pm

Your apology
is accepted due to your
admission I rule.

Now back to that team
That loves Lake Minnetonka.
They will lose fo' sho.

A contraversy
Brews, rages, and then it dies:
To football we turn.

Blood, Sweat and Tears make
for a great game. Skins will sweat.
Vikes can do the rest.

As the strippers danced,
Fred introduced the girls to
What he calls "Smoot Smack."

It turns out that I find haikus very entertaining. Nice call, Boss.

Stepping on the field
They see Sean, Marcus, and Griff
The Brads want to leave

Portis, Duckett, Betts
Can run thru this D at will
We also have Moss

Listen carefully
At the crowd yelling out Smooooot
Those are boos now Fred

Childress versus Gibbs?
This matchup just makes me laugh
Jokes on you Zygi

Sean is the baddest
Freddie Smoot is the saddest
Skins fans are gladdest

Hognostication
Indian will spear Viking

Brad Johnson leading to win

I always have enjoyed them to... and obviously a fair number of people do.

There's some really good ones too.

JansenFan · Post by **JansenFan** » Thu Sep 07, 2006 8:50 am

These Haikus are good
But not as good as ST
Killing Brad Johnson.

Armchair quarterback?
I bleed burgundy and gold.
That makes me special.

What's up Sunday night?
Wish I had Smoot's cell number.
Dude will be pimpin'.

Did you mean:

5: Here come the Vikings
7: Pat Williams will dominate
5: Watch Brunell run scared

?

Oh well, I guess yours tells us more about Vikings fans than mine does. . . ROTFALMAO

a game in the works
two coaches battle for pride
only one will win

teams of 52
gather around their leaders
inspiration they will find

the vikes are without
character the Redskins have
in gibbs we do trust

smoot loves pole dancers
not that i mind pole dancers
you know what i mean

redskins by 13
Johnson might not stand again
end, clever haiku
