One does not simply
Write a haiku the first time
And get it correct
Edit: Just wanted to write it down before I forgot.

Not a haiku, but this came to mind at the high school today:
Jimmy and Alice
sitting by a tree
eating an apple
naturally.
First comes love
then comes
"Hey, baby, I think we should see other people."
then comes Jr.'s broken heart in jail.
Alas, too many kids screw up (double entendre intended) and ruin more lives than their own.
(I work with special ed kids. A lot of them are where they are because their parents aren't there for them, or even love them.)
Foo. Sorry for the dark stuff. @LB , fabulous haiku. I'll remember that one!

@ResidentBiscuit
You may like it now,
But if I make another
Would it be too much?
(Haikus aren't that challenging to write :p)
@devonrevenge Nope, just a random thought today in school.
@Duoas Heh, you scared me - the first three words I saw were "Not a haiku" and I quickly looked up the definition of haiku to make sure I knew what it was. Then I read the rest of your post and realized you were talking about your own poem XD

That's not a haiku. Haikus are 5-7-5, yours is 6-7-5.

I pronounce idea with 3 syllables as well. I think chris is from the UK (if I remember right) so it could be different there.

Americans pronounce idea as i-dee-a? My worldview is crumbling!
Dec 11, 2012 at 4:31am UTC
I'm genuinely intrigued...how do folks from the UK pronounce i-dee-a? Id-yah? I can't wait for a response, so I'm googling it.
I - dia ?

@RB you have to understand, some people pronounce fear as fee-uh. I tend to pronounce the R more often than not, though.

I know, but you're American; in England (or at least in the south east) we don't.
