I can not seem to focus on reading words today (this is OK as long as I don't proof read it). I am sure there are some good blogs but I just cant seem to focus on them.
In case you don't know a Haiku is a type of free verse Japanese poem, There is an ongoing debate about Haiku: A lot of people feel that it is a three line poem written in 5 / 7 / 5 syllable structure. Example.
I am missing friends
and the Simpsons on TV
not such a good day
The debate regards the strictness of the 5 / 7 / 5 syllable structure. I quite like the structure but my understanding is that the original Japanese poets did not care about it very much. For one thing I do not even think that they have syllables in Japanese writing. I have even seen two line Haikus.
So thats quite interesting.
