Haiku Practice Thread (15)

1 Name: Enigami !K.q6eLFTNQ : 2018-05-16 15:04 ID:vasDHhCC [Del]

As suggested by some contributors of the Haiku Chain game thread, this thread is a space for people to practice the 5-7-5 formatted haiku, and to receive feedback on structure and content.
Note: I'm well aware there are many forms for a haiku to take. However, for sake of simplicity (and because this is a practice space for the chain thread, which follows 5-7-5), the standard 5-7-5 will be the primary (if not sole) focus of this thread. If you wanna post a non 5-7-5 haiku here, that's fine. Just be sure to include that this is more for feedback in general than for feedback for the chain thread.
Enjoy yourselves!

Sure thing!
Before I get started, I would like to note that while counting syllables is important to the chain game, it isn't the sole focus of haiku in the ordinary context. However, for sake of practice for the chain game, I'll separate the syllables.

On one fine mor-ning
I ga-ther my thoughts, qui-et
A new day, new world

huh X>X that's a bit confusing i don't get it

A new day, New world,
the mum-ble of the sparr-ow,
the day born, the world torn

>>4 Which bit is confusing to you?
As for your attempt, it's close, but the final line is one syllable too many for a standard 5-7-5 haiku. maybe drop the second 'the.' That should do the trick, maintaining your intended meaning while meeting the syllabic limit of the final line.

oki! got it though it's a bit well... that's alot of thinking X.X usually i just say what think goes but i did find it way easier doing it your way

>>6 It is a lot of thinking :). I think that is what makes haiku so meaningful - you have an idea that needs to be stripped down to the bare bones of it, but still able to convey the meaning of it. It requires thought and strategic use of language. It's hard to write a haiku by just writing what you think of in the moment, that is more like free form poetry.
**Side note, rhyming is not the the norm, but as far as I know it is allowed.

So if you cut "the" from your last line I could continue:
The day born, world torn. (5 syllables)
To create, one must destroy (7 syllables)
preconceived notions. (5 syllables)

**Note the punctuation in the second and third lines. It is to be one sentence that I broke up so that the second line has 7 syllables and the 3rd line has 5 syllables.

Hope this helps.

>>7 what you said but from google -

syllable -
A unit of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without surrounding consonants, forming the whole or a part of a word; for example, there are two syllables in *water* and three in *inferno*.

Also this might help haiku masters from NHK, using haiku to describe a picture - copy and past link below -

10 Name: Alimo !hOamRH5nxI : 2018-05-18 07:36 ID:VKKpytyE [Del]

preconceived notions
the ocean, deceived of call
for that it will fall

11 Name: Alimo !hOamRH5nxI : 2018-05-18 08:14 ID:VKKpytyE [Del]

so howed i do?!

12 Name: Enigami !K.q6eLFTNQ : 2018-05-18 10:06 ID:vasDHhCC [Del]

>>11 In terms of syllables, you made the cut!
However, the meaning is perhaps a bit elusive.
I'm digging the use of rhyme, though.
For the purposes of the chain game, this would work well.
Overall, good job!

13 Name: Alimo !hOamRH5nxI : 2018-05-18 11:41 ID:YgeUXaOV [Del]

thanks you! :) and also... what does elusive mean?!
