Wait lol, the first on isn't a haiku (6 7 6?)Comment

Re: Two Haikus Written in Linear Algebra Class
haikus don't have to be 5/7/5 unless you're in middle school; besides, you'd naturally de-emphasize "on a" into one syllable and "history" into two so natural speaking patterns make it 5ish/7/5ishComment

Re: Two Haikus Written in Linear Algebra Class
If, by middle school you mean "writing actual haiku"haikus don't have to be 5/7/5 unless you're in middle school
That's like saying "Iambic Pentameter doesn't have to have 5 beats" If it didn't have five beats, it wouldn't be pentameter.Comment

Re: Two Haikus Written in Linear Algebra Class
Real haikus are not equivalent to 5/7/5 in English syllables so I don't see why it matters. I mean generally English haiku is shorter than 5/7/5 (like 3/5/3 or 4/6/4) but I decided to go longer. If I were to write a traditional Japanese haiku, then I'd learn Japanese, because you can't do it in English. But I'm writing free-form English haikus which don't have the same strict standards (just suggestions).
if I had titled it "Two Short Poems" instead of "Two Haikus" then anybody who read them would've said "oh look haikus" anywayLast edited by dore; 10-10-2009, 07:14 AM.Comment

Re: Two Haikus Written in Linear Algebra Class
Japanese haikus aren't necessarily "syllabic" (but generally are) because certain vowels and consonants (any vowel or "n" for instance) are considered their own sounds (listen to any freaking Japanese song). You'll notice in music how certain sounds are broken apart into their "on"s all over the place.
If you're making a haiku in English, 5-7-5 is the correct format and there's really no argument otherwise, lol.
PS coming from someone who actually knows Japanese DOMINATED
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUeh71p3yJo
The VERY first line of this song: "Konya mo mata hakanai hoshi zora"
You'll notice "konya" sounds like "ko + n + ya" which in Japanese is considered three "on"s or three "syllables" in English equivalent. In regular speech though, you'd hear it spoken as "kon + ya," generally speaking, but it's still technically three separate sounds.Last edited by MrRubix; 10-10-2009, 11:23 AM.Comment
