Roar as ocean,

Leaves blow aimless on the wind,

Hollow, emptiness.

 

hollow, emptiness

my old friend, nothing to say

laughed until I cried

Paradoxical,

LaoTze writing style,

Specious.

 

I'm not sure what you are doing.

This is not 5-7-5 or any other rhythm I'm used to.

I'm not sure what it is, or what you want people to do with it.

 

Could we please get back to 5-7-5 or some other rhythm?

please look at this website.

It will breakdown words into the correct number of syllables.

 

Maybe it's a language issue?

"Maybe it's a language issue?"

Yes, it is.

Sorry, I'll no longer participate in the Hiaku Chain.

No offense was meant.

I merely meant that perhaps English is your second language.

I myself only have one, so if you speak/write more than one, I admire you.

 

I would enjoy your participation, and would feel better

if we could work this out together without bad feelings.

We all have much to learn from one another.

 

I apologize if I offended you.

 

Please continue the Haiku.

 

Peace!

No offense. I am just used to the one syllable characters. You see, any sound is a syllable to me. It would be too difficult for me to deal will the Kaiku. Anyway, thank you for your basic understanding.... :)

For English haiku you have to say the word fast and then divide it into BEATS rather than syllables. There's a bit of flexibility to it since you can even count "learned" as 1 beat if you say it like that (learnt); otherwise learrrrn D works as 2 beats.
