TRiP Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 recently tried to get into a routine of writing 1 Haiku a day...hasn't worked out too well, so hopefully this thread will inspire not only myself to keeping her litif you're new to Haiku's generally the most accepted English way of doing them is to structure it into 3 lines with 17 syllables divided between the lines - 5, 7, 5. Usually a haiku is inspired from day to day things that catch your eye - tending to be written in a more objective rather than subjective view point.i'm rather new to it, so i'm sure there's a few members here who are seasoned veterans?so for example:water drops, ripples (5 syllables)bodies huddle together, (7 syllables)sounds of calm around (5 syllables)neat site for counting syllables: http://www.wordcalc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbpete Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I done a meta-haiku: Here is a haiku This line has seven syllables This one only has five I think that's eight... Damnit so it is. That's what you get for using wordcalc Top tip - Unlike what's suggested in the original post, don't use wordcalc OK lets try again: Here is haiku two This has seven syllables This one only has five Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The first two lines are supposed to be pulled together by the last. It isn't supposed to be some chronological account of your banal existence. I done a meta-haiku:Here is a haikuThis line has seven syllablesThis one only has five I think that's eight... Damnit so it is. That's what you get for using wordcalcTop tip - Unlike what's suggested in the original post, don't use wordcalc Who uses a syllable calculator to count 17 syllables? That's what asians are for.

TRiP Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Haiku count morae, not syllables. There are also many haiku that don't follow the 5-7-5 system. swiiisssh car drives by walking all alone ya ya - aware of this, however it seems for the general ease of things following the hugely wrong English method is best besides, Haiku's are a distinctively Japanese thing. Its silly to think we can do them exactly the same except translated to English. So why not just try the English method, and make it a whole new thing with the same basic principles of simplifying yet maintaining beauty and wonder. .
