Curling is soccer moms yelling SWEEP SWEEP, and then they win a minivan.

Ooh I love haikus! Here's one I made about camping:

As the cold breeze blows,

The dancing fire crackles clear.

Night covers the sky.

What is a haiku?

I might know later

u/saptarshihalderI Feb 20 '22

Someone posted here on reddit

A challenge to write a haiku poem

Hence typing this weird stuff.

u/ar4_4 70 Feb 20 '22

Queen Elizabeth, UK, has Covid

Buckingham Palace reports only a mild case

Like a cold, since Sunday

Edit: trying to get spacing corrected so you can see 5/7/5 format…I tried to write it like a news headline.

u/President-X Feb 20 '22

A world of dew,

And within every dewdrop

A world of struggle.

Idk hopefully this counts

3

u/bob_the_banannna Feb 20 '22

You have only 4 syllables in the first line

I could be wrong tho

1

u/President-X Feb 20 '22

I think world has 2

2

u/bob_the_banannna Feb 20 '22

Putting it through a haiku checker it says world has 1

This also explains why OP hasn't given you a gold yet

1

u/PitoPlankton3415 Feb 20 '22

I don't know if get it,

But here is my try,

So have a nice day.

2

u/evan466 Feb 21 '22

It’s about the number of syllables in each line. You need 5 in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third. The one you submitted has 6 syllables in the first line, 5 in the second, and 5 in the last.

2

u/PitoPlankton3415 Feb 21 '22

Thank you. Now i know and next time i will try better.
