Haiku-poll

Following on from discussion elsewhere...

[Poll #599388]

Edit: please answer based on your own understanding of what an not-Japanese-language Haiku is/should be. [livejournal.com profile] haiku_daily posts are generally in English, however.

Presumably one of the ways in which it's wrong is that `dimittis' is spelt thusly. I claim my 5 pedant points.

Bother, you are indeed right, and I blame ETYOP, since I do know how it's spelt.

I think it's a rather long stretch to suggest something in Latin can possibly be an "English-language Haiku", though I don't think "cheating" is it.

Err, yes. I should clarify that point.

Could be senryu, rather than haiku...

Is that what your comment meant? I can't read Japanese!

Suggest you have a look at the link to the haiku_daily website...

(not that I can read it either, since it's 300-year-old Japanese; nobody calls frogs 'kawazu' these days for a start.)

I expect there is a sung form in which this actually has the right number of syllables, but they're cheating too. And there are more requirements for a haiku than syllable count; I'm fairly sure some kind of reference to a season is one of them.

There are first approximation rules in [livejournal.com profile] haiku_daily's userinfo.

But a lot of what is called haiku is actually senryu, which has the same form, but fewer rules regarding content.

The thing about the syllable count rule is that counting syllables in Japanese is a million times easier than doing it in English...
