[Smith]

*cant believe he cant pronounce*

to sa/tiate my/self (5)

thats six syllables, sa-ti-ate (pronounced se-shi-et) is 3 syllables + to+my+self = 6 syllables.

 

[saumilsingh]

I know what a syllable is.
Turns out I didn't know what a Haiku is

@Smith
Sa/tiate is 2 syllables. It's more to do with division of flow, not sound; Shyet, not Shi-et.

Come Worms na.

Haiku is forked,
so sue me if you have to;
A samurai suicides.

 

[zhopudey]

^^ oye, read the rulz You have to start with last word or sentence of previous haiku. e.g., I ended with "us"

Us,us, us, and them
And after all were only
ordinary men

 

[nukeu666]

ordinary men

here are so idiotic,

they dont read the rules.

 

[Yamaraj]

Who made the rules,
Haiku is not for the uneducated;
Wikipedia wizard.
