Hello:
First: Excuse me english, i speak spanish.
Second: This picture of Chuck Norris in the Haiku #24... is your creation?
Is very nice!!
If you no have a problem, y want copy to my blog.
i wait for you answer
I notice that most of those haikus aren't actually haikus...
Traditional haikus follow 5-7-5 pattern. These don't.
I agree that these are not all haiku in 5-7-5, but they're not in Japanese either. English haiku are generally more flexible, especially in translation of Japanese haiku masters. Early haiku translators aimed for either word-for-word transcription, which could be longer or shorter than 17 syllables and more often not 5-7-5, or they'd aim to capture the imagery, and suffer the same problem. For example, these three translations of Matsuo Bashō:
R.H. Blyth:
Moonlight slants through
The vast bamboo grove:
A cuckoo cries
Lucien Stryck:
From moon wreathed
bamboo grove,
cuckoo song
Peter Beilenson:
Moonlight slanting
through all this long bamboo grove
and nightingale song
Some American haikus are also written in the spirit of the Japanese form and just have three lines and syllables aren't even calculated. The reasoning is that the Japanese syntax and syllabic structure is far simpler for the form than the hodgepodge English language with 10s of thousands of loan words and blended roots.
The National Poetry Slam's only rule for Slam Haiku is 17 syllables. These are more in the style of senryū, but the term is less commonly known although more accurate.
GumptionFest IV will have a Haiku Death Match
We have to ask Chuck Norris about that issue...
devastating :D
