Un haiku

J'écris les haikus
Mais ils sont tout en français
Je n'parle pas anglais

Whoa! You know Cantonese, English and French? *feels really stupid* Well, I know the basics of several languages! Ha!

Ninquelote · 05-03-2003, 11:37 AM

lol, funny haiku!

I'm thinking of translating a poem from my screenplay into english and posting it here. Have to think about it.

***Jonathan*** · 05-04-2003, 09:37 AM

Don't think. Just do it.

Linaewen · 05-04-2003, 09:41 AM

I agree. I really want to read it. I do know some German though. 'Österreich ist frei!' and 'Guten Tag' etc etc. Man, I am just too good.

Aralyn · 05-04-2003, 06:10 PM

I have a couple
A tanka (follows a 5-7-5-7-7 structure), and cinaquin(2-4-6-8-2)

Perfect(this one is in my sig)

Friends are not forever
And life is not all roses
Sometimes clouds do not
Have pretty silver linings
Everything is not perfect
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time Flies

Time flies
When you have fun
And when you do not, it
goes on anyhow, not to stop
It flies

How about an English major's daughter?

Hiakus are traditionally about nature, and that's technically the rule, but they have been used for other things too. The Japanese use them to write about nature, but it's a very relaxed rule.

my poem

***Jonathan*** · 05-05-2003, 02:43 PM

Inspired by a song by a Swedish artist, I wrote this poem.
I'ts about the weather in Stockholm.

I heard on the TV today
That the sky’s going to be grey
And all over Stockholm, my town
Heavily, the rain will pour down
That sounds very, very odd to me
It’s always sunny here, you see.

We must’ve irritated the gods
Come on, I mean what are the odds?
We’ve never had a drop of rain
Now I think I will go insane
Stockholm’s weather cannot be bad
The weather always makes me glad

Now this poem isn't true. It's often awful weather in Stockholm.

Lalaith · 05-05-2003, 02:46 PM

Hurray, a rhyme. Cool, Jonathan, especially your explanation.

Ninquelote · 05-05-2003, 07:31 PM

I wrote a cywydd llosgyrnog riddle.

An old man in a darkened field
while to the daytime he does yield
soot upon his grimy back
wealth and riches he would lack.
But in the coal there are diamonds
and with those he makes amends.

***IronParrot*** · 05-05-2003, 08:03 PM

What, a volcano?

Ninquelote · 05-06-2003, 03:54 PM

Nope, the moon.

I describe it as a him, an old man in a field filled with blackness and diamonds. (The diamonds being stars.)

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-06-2003, 05:54 PM

I guessed it.

Of course, I did take two guesses at once...

***IronParrot*** · 05-06-2003, 10:07 PM

Reading it over again, I still maintain that volcano is a viable (albeit unintended) solution...

Gwaimir Windgem · 05-06-2003, 10:39 PM

Do volcanoes not "blow" in the daytime?
