All discussion, questions, or other jabber about the Haiku contest to go here please.

We do not want the Enteries to be clogged up with chatter that has nothing to do with them, so make sure all of it goes here.

To answer your first question: Yes, you will be competing against Frankie...

Crispy on plate is four, not 5...
Entry has only one E!

Frankie can't count... or spell

Can a haiku have more than one stanza? Or is it just one set of 5-7-5?

Bear · Post by **Bear** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 6:14 pm

Just one stanza! No trying to make yourself out from other people!

Both Ith and Morwen's haikus only have 6 syllables in the second line...

*crosschecks with haiku rules*

um, nope

I hope I got the phonetics right in mine.

In haiku, it's how it's pronounced, not how it's spelled. I think frankie can't even speak.

Hmm... I'll concede the points, if only because Haikus are not my familiarity.

Edit: I still don't see it. You two care to break down your second lines in here? I'm curious.

Acctually, MS, you are quite correct. they adapted 5-6-5 instead!

@Fen: middleline, is it, "because it has been proven"?

Ithilion · Post by **Ithilion** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 8:54 pm

i disagree, both have 7 on, remember, english syllabes and on are not always the same

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 8:57 pm

Yep, Ith and Morwen each have 6.

No arguing about the Haiku's, its only for fun.

And on and syllables are different, but its the closest comparrison for those who don't know the difference or are unfamiliar with them.

Ithilion · Post by **Ithilion** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 8:59 pm

actually, yeah, it was 6... not sure why i kept counting them as 7...

must have been the lack of sugar, anyway, fixed
