Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4512905, member: 181"] Appreciated Avoids ambiguity Stresses team concept Mileage can vary I pronounce it "puh-vill-yun" Neither's incorrect This one's trickier "ex-ay-vee-er," "zay-vee-er," Or bendm's "zay-vyer" None are incorrect But each might be confusing For haiku counter Now, begins teaching Haiku 'po-ems' have 3 lines With syllable counts The first line counts 5 The second line counts 7 The third line counts 5 Game Day Haiku thread 'Should' contain only haiku No other writing Questions, corrections comments, or explanations All in haiku form There's a learning curve Often we make counting goofs That we can't correct There's a small window Allowed to edit our posts It is what it is Creative posters Now acknowledge their errors And do 'make-up' posts 'Apology' posts Of course are done in haiku Stoking the mojo Which brings us to this A first-time haiku poster A new team member Close, but no cigar Three lines: Five, seven, and five Start low and go slow No full sentences One hundred percent haiku it's a discipline Like shooting free throws It is muscle memory Practiced ritual Next, I will attempt To refashion your post in Five, seven, five form "No stopping these Dawgs UConn X-terminator Mission Possible" Count the syllables "Check your work," like teacher said. Then post your haiku So give it shot You are hereby invited To post in haiku Keep it quite simple One haiku and nothing else Five, seven, then five We each play our part The coaches, players, and fans Working together I wish you the best In admirable efforts "UconnFanDC" [/QUOTE]
