Sounds good!<br />
<br />
I have a previous haiku thread (2008) on women's tennis fashion that I put a lot of work into. Do check it out.

This is such a good idea, I'm going to start a Haiku thread in the Forum which will last in perpetuity. I'll post the thread here so that you can add your haikus and we can get the ball rolling there!<br />

Very good!!!! You're a natural at this. I hope others start posting theirs as well!<br />
<br />
It <u>is</u> a hard and fast rule. so I could have re-written the Djoko one like this:<br />
<br />
Irked by the sense of<br />
Being discounted, eclipsed<br />
London is his chance.<br />
<br />
I elected to put the word "of" in the second line because it fit more smoothly there. But a really good haiku captures the thought or idea without having to bend the rules.

Oh, sounds like you know more about haiku than me - I thought it was a hard and fast rule 5-7-5, at least that's what they follow on the Jim Rome show. ;-) So sad that my current literary knowledge is coming from sports radio - ouch!<br />
<br />
Looks like you have a 5-7-5 and a 4-8-5 there, at least with my pronunciation.<br />
<br />
Let me try one.<br />
<br />
Scramble for the top<br />
The king's crown is tarnished<br />
Now London's Calling

It's 5, 7, 5. Sometimes for the natural beat/cadence you end up doing 5, 8, 4 or 4, 8, 5, but it should always add up to 17 beats/syllables for the entire haiku. I don't think I broke this rule but I will re-check and change if I did.

Very cool idea - so is it supposed to be 4 or 5 syllables in the first line - cuz you got one of each. ;-)
