Newhaiku
Okay, people, Haiku is not about 5, 7, 5.
So with that in mind, I've devised an English form of Haiku: the Newhaiku. There are three lines. The first and third lines must be things. The middle line has to be a question. The idea is that the first two thoughts are connected in an un-obvious way and the third makes the connection clear. Oh and no punctuation.
Feel free to e-mail me your own Newhaikus, I'd be interested to hear them. Also, if you can suggest any refinements to the form, I'm open to those as well.
Here are my first few attempts:
the baby in the bathwater
what did you say
busy signal
siphoned gasoline
who did the vampire bite
the imf
individual birds
did I miss the polkaroo again
metamorphosis
Look forward to hearing yours!
