Polvo, I'm not one to flaunt my English teacher license (or the fact that I AM a native speaker), but I believe what you've written here is called "Haicrap"!
I've heard that too much "internet usage" can result in one hand being stronger than the other one ... but I just heard it might it also make one eye bigger? Just a rumor though ... I haven't seen anyone with an unusually large eye myself so I doubt that rumor has any merit.
Also if someone is sans a "tooth" it then becomes proper English to pronounce it "toof". I think that's one of those rare "Past Perfect Conjunctive Nouns"
Well this is what I learned today: What the word Haiku means. Up until today I had never heard this word much less wondered what it means. I liken this to never knowing what a Scion xB looked like until I saw one. Now I see them everywhere. (P-lou seemed to know exactly what Haiku meant, once again flaunting her book learnin at me.) I found the following on Al Gore's internet. I looked it up for Barry and me. (Barry and I? no Barry and me - me being the object of the preposition for..if memory serves me correctly when Butch and I were in school).
The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. First line usually contains five (5) syllables, second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. (Please note that polvo's Egg Haiku does indeed present a mental image, disturbing at best.) This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry.
I guess me and my best friend Butch must have missed English class the day(s) this was covered at Kathleen High School.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly. I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come. Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday. MAN, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
abbzug - Kathleen High School is the home of the mighty Red Devils in Lakeland, Florida!!!! Where the women are strong, the men are good looking and all of the children are above average.
