Texas Haiku

[DALTX]

AK is our man
Tonight he scores 20 points
Put it in the books

So it is written
Alex: player of the game
Scoring 20 points

What on earth is this?
Six, six, and eight syllables?
That ain't no haiku

This is called "artistic license"

Why an artistic license is important?

This license is essential to all art because it is about the interpretation and style of an image or object, not just its physical properties. Artistic license allows for creativity in the interpretation of the world and does not have to be respected by everyone.

Foot on the sideline
by Rodney Purvis was called
Out of bounds each time

Thinking about that
makes me laugh, but it wasn't
"artistic license"

I have my doubts that
You believe your argument
Or that it's haiku

Your explanation,
question, and prose paragraph
Aren't haiku either

Gotta be honest:
They belong somewhere other
than a haiku thread

I call that BS
A ban from this thread could be
"Artistic license"

Your effort is less
Welcome here than Mapplethorpe
Would be at the Louvre

Seems I hit a nerve with that post over something quite trivial. Interesting insights from the inside of the posters. Says a lot about your inner self. And those would be about your humble opinion or are you the self appointed community spokespersons?

There's a difference
Between unconventional
And being a jerk.

If you took notice
You'd see that in every
Haiku thread there are

Negative replies
To ev'ryone who doesn't
Follow haiku rules.

It's 5-7-5
And negative reactions
Come from many folks

Who participate
Regularly in this thread,
Not self-appointed

"Spokespersons" for the
Community. It's a thread
For Haiku, which means

By definition
5-7-5 construction.
So no, your freeverse

Didn't "hit a nerve".
It's standard procedure for
Any among us

Who take part in these
Threads to call out non-haiku
Construction. But while

Most people just go,
"Oops", your self-serving reply
Smells like fresh horsebleep.

You fancy yourself
A modern day Walt Whitman?
Return to verse one.

Now that the game is over, I'll defend myself. I didn't realize I was in the Haiku thread, which I never really post in.

I was just responding to posts as I usually do. My apologies for upsetting some

Having said that, y'all need to be thanking me for bringing good fortune to the team. You're welcome

No one gets "upset"
It's a simple "tsk tsk" scold
And then we move on.

There's no artistic
license in haiku! Just one
Redress - seppuku!
