I thought the sign read
โ€œHaiku Clubโ€ not โ€œHiking Club.โ€
We walked for hours. Hours.

#haiku

@LoganFive

Five, seven, then five
Kilometers on the trail,
It felt poetic.

@quite_adept @LoganFive
With only a pen,
I set out to conquer worlds:
Badly blistered feet.
@LoganFive Huh, I just installed Haiku on my old laptop. Makes you wonder what could have been if Be Inc had been given a chance.
@LoganFive When I read this post,
I was immediately
struck by its beauty.

@Amipfaelzer @LoganFive

In this club of ours,
We never talk
About haiku

@bonkers @LoganFive I never mentioned
That particular word, here.
I only showed love

@Amipfaelzer @LoganFive

Useless nonsense
That makes us happy
Is what we do

@bonkers @LoganFive I get the feeling
You don't understand how to
Truly write Haikus.
@bonkers @LoganFive Five syllables first
Then seven syllables more
Then five syllables

@Amipfaelzer @LoganFive

Too complicated
For this silly brain right here
Fuck the rules

@bonkers @Amipfaelzer @LoganFive

Bypassers won't notice the syllables count.
What matters the most is dynamics.

@michael @LoganFive @Amipfaelzer

Especially that
they speak differently
In Japan ;)

@bonkers @michael @LoganFive Now you're trolling. Good
Each person can decide for
Themselves what art is.

@Amipfaelzer @michael @LoganFive

Was I ever being
Serious? We are
Just having fun

@bonkers @michael @LoganFive It was all in jest.
The whole damned conversation.
Happy to take part.

@Amipfaelzer @bonkers @michael

willy and bonkers
talked solely in poetry,
shouting silliness

@LoganFive @bonkers @michael Willy and Bonkers
Salut you for your heartfelt
Appreciation!

@Amipfaelzer @LoganFive @michael

Maybe tomorrow
More graphomania
Highlights the day

@bonkers @Amipfaelzer @michael

Michael looked onward
The cat, the frown, a child clown
Their quest just began

@LoganFive This is one of my favorite mastodon threads this month. Thanks for making my day.

@LoganFive

remember!

Gentlemen, welcome to Hike Club. The first rule of Hike Club is: you do not talk about Hike Club. The second rule of Hike Club is: you DO NOT talk about Hike Club! Third rule of Hike Club: someone yells "stop!", goes limp, taps out, the Hike is over.

@LoganFive A+, no notes. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿป
@LoganFive
Boots or pens, we walked
Haikus sprouted from our steps
Ink-stained trails of thought.

@LoganFive
but in Japanese
syllables are different
ha-i-ku is three

(kinda)

@LoganFive
our sign was reversed
Much surprise explanation
Mistakes made: plentiful
@LoganFive
There once was a man
from Cork, who got limericks
and haikus confused
@LoganFive
There once was a man in Peru
Whose limericks end on line two
@LoganFive
There was a young man from Verdun

@retsel @LoganFive

It's not a limerick unless
It rhymes on line two more or less
You've got a haiku
Or a hullaballoo
If you're writing this poem you're stressed

@LoganFive Are there one or two
syllables within units
sixty minutes long?

@LoganFive

Today I have learned
That some people say "hours"
With one syllable

@drsbaitso I believe itโ€™s categorized as a monosyllabic triphthong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triphthong

But given that words like flour and flower sound the same, it all does seem like more of an academic distinction.

Triphthong - Wikipedia

@LoganFive

Oh no, I am trapped
In a haiku factory.
Help me, before they

@jackyan @LoganFive

if I was able
I would compose a haiku
but I am not

(sorry, not-sorry)
