I'm more into haiku poems. Kind of something like this: "What is a haiku? I am trying to type one. Oh. Wow. I just did." :derpe:
[video=youtube;K7-2_gUuWK4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7-2_gUuWK4[/video] And i still don't get how those things even work. :v
Haikus follow a syllable structure where the first and last verses are five syllables, and the middle verse is seven syllables.
Oh look now isn't this charming, Though I do find it quite alarming, When slant-rhyme's put to use, It's so easy to abuse, 'Stead of improvement it just ends up harming.
There once was a dog named Lee Who wanted to fly and be free. Said the boy, you're a beagle I don't want an eagle! You need to get down from that tree!
Gene, Gene made a machine, Joe, Joe made it go, Art, Art blew a fart, And blew the whole damn thing appart. Whoever can guess where that's from gets an internet cookie.
There once was wonderful a star Who thought she would go very far Until she fell down And looked like a clown She knew she would never go far.
Wolf has this matter by the throat; you must all see: Haiku are complex. Most Haiku are used for assembling those meanings which require some work. Double meanings are the most important aspect in any Haiku. Traditionally, Haiku juxtapose nature with human feelings. A Haiku Master may give twenty meanings to a single Haiku. Japanese language does this effortlessly with its complex Kanji. English's meanings are the Winter chills in words, though they have their place. Japanese's vast intricacies are Summer's warm winds of meaning.
I counted the possessive "s" in "English's" and "Japanese's" as adding another syllable. The line "a single Haiku" is five syllables, not four. The line "in any Haiku" is five syllables, not four. The line "Double meanings are" is five syllables, not four. Only your correction of the line "Haiku are a system" was correct. Please do not be so over-zealous with your criticism.
By that logic, the second sentence of your last haiku has 8 syllables. Single, any, and double are only one syllable, i think. Just because a word sounds like it has two doesn't mean it actually has two. I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure i'm not.
Well, no, because that's not how "summer's" is pronounced as a possessive. It's a quite literal case of "play by ear." Syllables almost literally are the number of spoken vowel sounds in a word. Sometimes a possessive word is spoken as if the apostrophe is pronounced as an "e", and sometimes not. Consider the case of "summer's" versus "Japanese's", for instance. Now, the possessive word, "witches'" has an "e" and an "s" at its end, giving it a two pronounced vowel sounds; this is because "witches'" is a plural possessive. Note the similar presence of an "e" and an "s" in "Japanese's." The word "summer's" has no such presence. Now, as for "English's", when you speak it you can hear the unspoken "e" sound just as you can in "Japanese's", even though there is no "e" present at the end of the word. From this you can infer that the syllable count is not dependent on the physical presence of the second "e" in "Japanese's" but rather by the pronunciation of the word. I would also like to add that, even in academic English haiku, some writers actively choose to use a varying syllable count in some lines, both because this can be a more accurate representation of the musical quality of haiku and because it is sometimes considered preferable to preserve an image created with words over a technicality. This is art, after all. A certain frame of mind is required if you are to participate. THE BREAKDOWN: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/any http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/single http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/double Those are the commonly accepted syllable counts for those words. I believe you will find they are all two-syllable words.
Summer's is not pronounced Summers-ses No, that's very much incorrect.. Sin-gle Dou-ble An-y(Eh-nee) 2 syllables...If it makes a vowel sound it is a syllable, does not matter how it is spelled. Count in your head of how many natural divisions a word makes. The only mistake Dilly made is line 4. Take a bit of care before getting excited at ripping someone's post apart eh?
