[QUOTE=Havik] C’mon, yunno ya wanna! Just write anything you want, as long as it follows the basic haiku format. Which is, if I’m not mistaken, a three lined poem broken up into a 5-7-5 syllable format. And, if I am wrong, then CRUD. Examples: The moose has two balls, Not that it matters at all, For he cannot lick! Don’t fret little blonde, A trophy wife you’ll soon make, Wow, thank you, you say? (These were submitted and _allowed_ as suitable examples of poetry in my English class. Go figure.) :D[/QUOTE I just wish that I had the time! I’m too busy writing sonnets that contain ironic references to Theist beliefs from fourth century Greece,GET THIS even before the parallel approach about Mithraism. I’m so glad that I’m not pretentious! Good luck. ---
