Describe the Description
Do you know haiku form? It actually varies, but we tend to just simplify it to a three line stanza, with a pattern of 5-7-5 syllables per line. I love haiku. I have reason to believe NoRegrets likes them too. Anyway, I thought I'd see if I could ask you to play along with me here. In comments, would you write a haiku about yourself? A haiku that is an Iku! A youku? Meku? I think this is prompted by something I thought of idly and it sort of got stuck in my brain - My Iku
On my own again.
ReplyDeleteLife filled with joys and sorrows.
Time to reassess.
Mind is lost today.
ReplyDeleteHaiku writing is tricky.
I will learn again.
That's all I've got, but thank you for reminding me how many syllables are in a haiku! We used to write those back in high school and had an instructor who looked like Kyle Mclachlan. :)
I'm not good at things
ReplyDeleteThat combine words and numbers
But I love haikus.
Did I do that right?
Secret: That is excellent. I feel like I'm constantly reassessing.
ReplyDeleteTara: You picked it right up again! You had an English teacher that looked like Kyle MacLachlan? Most of mine seemed to look more like...I don't know...William Daniels (Mr. Feeny) maybe :-)
Churlita: You did that perfectly! Turns out you ARE good at at least one thing combining words and numbers.
Funny - if people check out the link right now, it goes to the "I'm glad you're not dead."
ReplyDeleteMy constant struggle.
Who am I? What can I be?
Just breathe in, breathe out.
NoRegrets: haha! Hey, I like that sentiment :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd, as always, I like your Iku!
