Haikus are the most simple thing to write, but I have trouble writing them.
5-7-5. They confound me no end

The sky at night is
darker than the depths of the day
crocodiles hunt in packs.


is that right?

you?

It's syllables not words!

math

I know what syllables are I told you, I cant do it.

i can NOT use chopsticks to save my life.

i've had lots of people try to teach me over the years. i just can't do it. it doesn't feel natural and i can't manipulate the sticks to do what they're supposed to do.

one of my friends said it's because i'm left-handed, but i know lefties who can use chopsticks just fine. it's gotta be a mental block.

or i have flippers for hands and a hypnotist tricked me at an early age into believing i have fingers.

one of the two.

Explain the last line.

For me it's nanotechnology, I can just never solicit the necesary funds to get a nano-technology startup company off the ground.




Plus I have no idea what the fuck nanotechnology is.

I treated "dile" as a dipthong to get the 5-count.

2the9s said:

What?

2the9s said:

Lame save.

Anx said:

I am not good with them either..I do NOT get enough practice and no one has really taught me.

this thread is losing me fast.....


9s' threads tend to give me a mental block.....

Haikus are over-rated pieces of nonsense and are about as artistic as dogshit. Hey, I'm going to invent a new thing - it's called Splonkees. Basically, Splonkees are poems that include only letters of the alphabet (numerics are no good), references to genitals and at least one emoticon per line. Here's my Splonkee for 3121.

Title track of Camille-esque testicles
Twelve tracks of commercial vagina music
Get On The Boat ending of pubes

See it's easy (and as pointless and meaningless as haiku)

I've just started a new thread on splonkees. Hopefully, they'll be easier for Orgers to create.

I have a hard time remembering people's names when I see them outside of their original (office/ bar /house /car /busstop /myspace) setting.
