Haiku Challenge! Discussion Thread

[Dan Jones]

Let's talk Haiku!

 

[Hex]

Nice one, @DG Jones and @Glen. Got to love a challenge that makes me count on my fingers (now I just need to improve my ability to read instructions...).

 

[Dan Jones]

I just spotted your, er, infringement. Good work. Now if you wouldn't mind deleting my follow-up post that'd be grand! Thank you

 

[Hex]

Love how you suggested it could possibly have been your fault

I shall blame my inability to multi-task and a dodgy recollection of what haiku are. So now I've been re-educated too.

EDIT: and another question. Are we having titles or shall I remove that too?

 

[Mr Orange]

ha nice one DG

i'm in. even managed to make it sci-fi... kind of... at a stretch...

 

[The Judge]

Well, I've given mine
a title, so I'm one for
keeping them in there.

 

[Dan Jones]

Titles are probably advised, just to make the poll easier, otherwise it'll just be:

Untitled by Hex
Untitled by DG Jones
Untitled by Glen

Could make things tricky...

 

[Hex]

I didn't originally, and then I worried that the poll would be confusing... :s

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Mine's biographical. Just sayin'

 

[Mr Orange]

Titles are probably advised, just to make the poll easier, otherwise it'll just be:

Untitled by Hex
Untitled by DG Jones
Untitled by Glen

Could make things tricky...

you could just put names in....

 

[Dan Jones]

I was hoping someone would spot what I did with the names there...

 

[LittleStar]

Oooh, another Fun to be getting on with. Can I play too?

 

[Hex]

Sigh. Will you lot (and especially @DG Jones) stop being so clever? You're making my brain ache.

(off for more coffee. And, @Jo Zebedee, to answer your question: Yes. Yes. They should be banned.)

 

[LittleStar]

This was fun, but I've procrastinated enough, back to my WIP!




Though, maybe I should have lunch first

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Fun challenge, DG & Glen! On with the day, now.

 

[Luiglin]

I thought I'd go deep with hidden layered meanings that would reveal inner angst and icy beauty.

Then thought nah.

 

[The Judge]

A plea to change the rules and allow multiple entries

One haiku is like
Japanese food. Beautiful.
But leaves me unfilled.

 

[Luiglin]

I second the judge
To allow my mind to muse
Many would be fine

 

[Jo Zebedee]

A plea to present a rebuttal

Haiku: Distraction.
Work-in-progress in danger.
Uncompletion sure.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

I agree as well.
Allow multiple entries,
Vote for best by name.
