Haikus

[Ice_Eagle91]

How do I make a proper haiku? I once made one, but G3K told me it's flawed!!!!!  :-(

[G3K]

A haiku is constructed of three lines, the first of which has five syllables, the second has seven, and the third five.

Lemmings are stupid
They go off cliffs and in water
Then they don't exist

[namida]

That second line is eight. It should be seven.

Sonic the Hedgehog,
Is as fast as a cheetah,
And is very, very cool.

[dark_phoenix]

That second line is eight. It should be seven.

oops. i must be getting dumber. when i counted it out it was right.

Mr. stapler sta down on a lemming.
"who are you you dumb idiot?"
"i'm a stapler, twit!"
"does a bear bounce?"
"uh.no"

it's in almost no way related to lemmings but atleast it's a haiku...whaddaya think? (i found out how to do one anyway.)

[Ice_Eagle91]

That's not a haiku. It's flawed, I'm afraid.

[Liebatron]

whats wrong with it? did i mess up on the syllables?(translation, i messed up on the syllables.)

[Ice_Eagle91]

Not just that, look! That haiku has five lines, not three!

[Liebatron]

oh......... why does everyone tell me how to do something after i do it?.......oh well.

"since when does a dead bear bounce?"
"I just saw one bounce"
"wierd haiku"

[Ice_Eagle91]

Flawed.

[Liebatron]

what now?

[Ice_Eagle91]

Don't get mad, dumb_lem. I'll help you.

The first line has five syllables.
The second line has seven syllables.
The third line has five syllables.

Try again, okay?

[Liebatron]
