Ummm… “great” is a one-syllable word. You can’t hyphenate it, which is the test… isn’t it?

Hahaha.  Screenshotting and sending to failblog.  rasberry

Okay, I totally had to enter, especially after reading the comments arguing over haiku prose.

Punctiliousness

I won’t win anything, but I couldn’t resist.

You did a Tony the Tiger.  How ironic.

I got an F in Haiku-writing.  After that, I gave up!  grrr

You realize that copy is two syllables, right?

Dave2- I know this is like second grade English… but I don’t know.  If great is one syllable… then I may still be viable

Danalyn- Oh great… spread my fail across the Internets!  You should enter the contest… you never know!

Poppy- Is that why this is nagging me?  I hate him.  Really.

Geeky Tai-tai- I used to be able to do it without issue… but apparently I’m quite rusty.

Turnbaby- You should DEFINITELY enter that one.

Avitable- Really?  Fuck me.  I need to go relearn my language.

Come practice your haiku at my place! I linked you

Avi said what I was going to say.

But hey—at least you tried. I couldn’t even manage that.

Haha!!
Haikus make me crazy. but I might try - for the heck of it.


comment by Sybil Law  on  11/14  at  12:30 PM

Finn and Avitable both caught it, given, I had to read it like four times before I figured it out.  And I did have to go to Dictionary.com to figure out how many syllables were in the words I used. 

I did not see a rule about how many you can enter.  Maybe you can try again.

I have a friend who writes a haiku everyday. I should tell her about this. Then I can get her old Mac! Which is actually only a month old.


comment by Sarah  on  11/14  at  07:18 PM

I entered an old haiku that I wrote that won first place in my company’s haiku contest.  I’m sure it won’t win, but whatever.  Worth a try.


comment by Brandon  on  11/15  at  02:30 AM

Hmm, for a Macbook Air I may just try it.
