Haiku Correctum Syllabus

Apparently there is only one syllable in the word ‘tongue’. Sigh.  Therefore I broke the  Haiku rule of 17 syllables in three lines with 5 syllables then 7 syllables then 5 syllables. Here some  corrected haiku options.

Challenge: toes and dog

Row of ten toes wait
For loving tongue of dog uh!
To wet them laughing

OR

Row of ten toes wait
For loving tongey of dog
To wet them laughing

OR

Row of ten toes wait
For hot loving tongue of dog
To wet them laughing

Genus Haiku Ad Hoc Horriblis

I was involved in a spontaneou Haiku crossfire while chatting with a very literate couple on google chat. It turns out that a Haiku is composed of 17 syllables in three lines with 5 syllables then 7 syllables then 5 syllables. Here are two results.

Challenge: toes and dog

Row of ten toes wait
For loving tongue of dog
To wet them laughing

Challenge: manicure and tampon

Cut my nails short
To keep my vulva untorn
When tampon goes in

Welcome to Hamilton

I am back from a month of volunteering at the Cool Sporting Event on the West Coast of BC. On my return to Hamilton via Calgary I noticed that the Hamilton Airport’s artistic mascot had been modified to reflect a sporting heritage. The football looks like someone had clumsily added it using GIMP, but it is really stuck in there for real. Oskaweewee.
