Why don't you two try writing one instead of questioning it? You might even enjoy it. Honest :) ...

Good haiku, Jo.

The thing about the form is that it's totally addictive. They're easy to write. Quick. You can GUARANTEE that people will read them because they're so short...

A sonnet takes me about half an hour to write. A 'serious' poem of forty lines takes half a day or more. A haiku can sometimes take half a minute. The sonnet may get read. The long poem will only be read by someone who really wants to read it. The haiku will be probably read by everybody. See what I mean?

I should point out that this refers only to non-Japanese haiku; if you're going to do it absolutely by the classical rules, it probably takes rather more than half a minute to write. Plus you've got to learn Japanese. :?

Learning the Japanese language is more involved then it sounds, you have to learn to *think* like the Japanese also.

The thinking bit I can do, its just the language that remains. Sadly learning Japanese is so low on my list of priorities that I'll probably never get around to doing it, but certainly it would be nice to add to my CV.

Jo, well played :D

I will give the Japanese version a go later. We had Japanese lessons years ago (I dropped out, the teacher had the hots for me ole fella). He completed the course and was quite good, probably because she was pretty lol.

I've cracked it. Took me ferrking ages, but I can't be beat by a bloody haiku. :wink:

senaka ie .....back home..
oboeru itsumo .....remember always
karui bara .....light, rose

se/na/ka i/e
o/be/o/ru i/tsu/mo
ka/ru/i ba/ra

I think I get the point of it all now. In Japanese most things are 1 or 2 letter syllables, making it bloody hard to do the ole 5 7 5 thing, when they have such long words.

I can see the point in writing it in japanese, coz its hard and sort of like a puzzle. I still can't see the point in English (sorry).

Put that in yer pipe and smoke it Mr Lugh, unless you can do better? 8)

psssst! pay attention...
One For Jo. A Haiku by Louis P. Burns aka Lugh © 19th July, 2006.
  • Jo chats a lot here.
    once? twice? light came as she wrote.
    light spread through us all...
Jo, I write these because I find them fun to do, that's all. Bit like someone else doing a crossword or knitting...

I'm not into conforming unless there's a point to it in my creative work. I don't see any point in someone from the West, attempting the Japanese style and choose to believe that this is an evolving form 8) ...
