Breaking Form
Ok, we've been breaking form on the GOTH Friday. Technically a haiku is 17 syllables long with a 5-7-5 structure. We've been running a 7-5-7 structure or 19 syllables giving us a little more playroom. Do we need to go traditional Japanese structure, or my mutated version which gives us a bonus 2 syllables? I'll leave it up to a vote. I'll abstain unless there is a tie.

I've been enjoying the "reverse haiku" style, but I think all variations should be welcome.
Rules have their purpose
Rules are made to be broken
I say fuck the rules
What do you mean "we"??
I did it right the first time!
I SMRT
ok you got me
It was really my second
haiku that was right
you are such a little anarchist dewdew, and we luv you for it. One vote for the 7-5-7 from Beo bring it to a 1:0 vote in favor of current form. Paula, don't make me drag out last weeks haiku on yer tooshie. Ya know, where ya did a 7-5-7. *snicker*
We need a consistent playing field. Structure will have to be uniform for the judges to do their work properly. Don't blame me, blame their tight, no-grend31-entry, puckered up asses.
Again, the vote is 1:0 in favor of the 7/5/7 structure.
Even though I think that the traditional 5-7-5 has a more natural rhythm to it, my official vote is for 7-5-7.
More than one die is called dice
Two mouses is mice
More than one moose is still moose
it's not a haiku
if it's not in 5-7-5
call it a grendku
ooo! Grendku it is!! 7-5-7 format. Paula *SO* earned the bonus points on that one.
Oooooo.. and Beo takes a real nasty dive on points with that one... *Ouch*
To compete against females
Dew don't think it fair
Them use both sides of their brains
fear not the girl brains dewdew
the judges can't find
their asses or their elbows
if beo do not play then
beo have no chance
to lose the points bigtime joe
