moycon Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. ATARI is great. Don't you think that this is true? I love it long time. This is of course correct if you figure ATARI has 3 syllables. I dunno. Thats why haikus dies out...Too many fights back in the 70's about syllable count. Anybody else got one?

mvigor Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 These are all very, very creative! I don't have a Haiku, but I do have a poem that I wrote in high school. Can you find a hidden message? My room seems more open Right through high land And North down in Saskatchewan A bull in town comes home It was posted in the classroom and no one ever caught it.
