The haiku are finished
Dec. 31st, 2003 05:49 pmOingo Boingo - [When The Lights Go Out]--- All Haiku are sent. My brain hurts a great deal, but it was worth it. At least, i hope it was. I hope that you like the haiku, and i hope that i portrayed you, as truthfully as possible, in yours.
Interpol - [Obstacle 1]--- I chose the haiku, fore a number of reasons. There is the fact that they are free, and i have plenty of free to go around, but there is also the fact that.. a Haiku, to be done well, in my opnion, needs to convey as much as possible, in the space given. This means that every chosen word must convey its stated meaning, and, hopefully, its ironic usage, as well. One of the multiple definitions, contextually merging with the other words, and lines, working together to make sure that, depending on your inflection and pauses, each Haiku has myriad meanings. But, never forget, that each of those meanings must describe the subject... And that's what i strove for, here...
I hope that i succeded. (Res - [How I Do]). They are yours, each. Do with them what you will.
I only hope that... Yes. If i'm not back, before midnight, have a happy new year.
By for now....
No, wait.. there was something else...
This winter has left me feeling... unfulfilled, thus far. I have not an anthem of it, and i have not the feeling of the driving cold. There have been more 50 and above degree days, than 30 and below. This is... going to have to change. I like the warmth, but it is not Winter.
Bye for now.
