First Run
I think this is funI get to fix my mistakes
And witness the whole

Second Run
Second times the charm
I will focus on the tale
Sanding the edges

Third Run
Starting to wear down
Even after a long break
I will not give up

Fourth Run
I suck at writing
None suck as much as I do
Though this part is good

Fifth Run

Ah so poetic…a true master of hokku, Basho, Shiki and Buson all rolled into one lone poet! ROFL!!!! (The fifth was definately the best!)

Thanks. Though, I thought they were only haiku. I hate to admit that I don’t recognize those other forms.

Watch out what you call haiku or I’ll send Mikels Skele to tell you about what a haiku is! 🙂

It’s the only thing I know from my school days. This is what I was taught a haiku is.

Sheesh…they taught you bad…at best those are Micropoems and have nothing to do with haiku…but they’re funny anyway 😀

It was elementary school. Though, I do remember looking up haiku and it being the 5-7-5 syllable pattern. I know a lot of the Japanese poem styles are also dependent on topic, so this would be closer to what some people call the English Contemporary Haiku. Never got behind the idea that a poem style is dependent on subject matter.

Very japanese I think…and supposedly what makes the difference between a haiku, a senryu and I’ve just discovered a zappai (so what you’ve got here is spam-ku of zappai…especially number 5):
“Many so-called “haiku” in English are really senryu. Others, such as “Spam-ku” and “headline haiku”, seem like recent additions to an old Japanese category, zappai, miscellaneous amusements in doggerel verse (usually written in 5-7-5) with little or no literary value. Some call the products of these recent fads “pseudohaiku” to make clear that they are not haiku at all.”
But I was pulling your leg as your were pulling ours, I wouldn’t think of entering into a serious discussion of what a haiku is…hell Americans in the past have gotten almost to the point of duels over the definition of a haiku! My katana though is reserved for more serious stuff 😉

Spam-ku sounds like a spam-based Chinese dish that includes noodles and eggs. Not that appetizing.
My katana is still packed away with the wakazashi, tanto, giant blades, longswords, a saber, and several other weapons. Though, I have a medieval hand-axe in case of emergencies.
Sorry about snapping though. I’m getting a little exhausted with trying to edit multiple books. Hoping to get at least one out of the way by the end of the week.

I think I have you beat. Edited Catalysts over the weekend. Editing Beginning of a Hero AND Family of the Tri-Rune right now. Having phone calls with Ionia to go over issues with Allure of the Gypsies. She’s about to kill me if I ever write something like ‘clear across the clearing’ again.

Not so much an issue of time, but lack of rum.
