You're the worst pedant ever. Three points:
- Haiku refers to a style of poetry with a seasonal element. In this sense, not a single thing you have written so far qualifies.
Hey. I never claimed to be a Haiku expert. But ask most people what a Haiku is and they will say 5-7-5. If you won't culturally-correct haikus, start your own thread.
And while mine might not have "seasonal elements" they all stick to the 5-7-5, so in the regards, success!
Thanks
Well, that's convenient:
Pedantic when it suits you
Cavalier when not

Exchanged for chess themes?

Three more beers please sir!
[Edit: Ahh, beat to the punch by the edit function...]
Beer, for some people
is an element of chess.
I prefer coffee.
Well, I just swapped some twenty-four ounce beers for twelve ounce beers.
Hah, nice. I assume because the 24 ounce beers have mora...?
It's a seasonal thing.

Sometimes the bear eats you.

If English syllables do not conform to the Japanese 'beats' use in ku, why do we even try to do Haiku in English? I like creative writing and all, but Haiku (in English) seems like a bunch of nonsense to me.
Also what do you mean by a seasonal element? (summer and winter etc.?)
Yeah Anglicised ku usually (at least in classic form) follow the original mistake of converting into syllables; since modern poetry doesn't place any particular constraints on mora, it's really no big deal. I was just pointing out that the OP was (and still is) criticizing the responses of others for not conforming to his/her ideas, when s/he is in fact wrong about something. I wouldn't care at all if it wasn't for this "no no, do exactly as I say" attitude. Funnily enough, I've been told to "lighten up" by someone who is trying to dictate how others should respond...
And yes, haiku generally refers to shortform poetry with the four seasons in mind.

I just thought the conforming to a 5-7-5 would give us all a basis of comparison.
Who woulda thunk it
A nice little thread like this
The moon must be full
Speak in haikus, please
Butchering tradition, yes
But also sounds cool.
