abuseWhat? Cardinals can be seen? SIX syllables? Unless you count cardinals as two, which is definitly stretching it. I'm just poking I'm all for correct haiku. Check out my haiku if you have time, there are only three or four. And they actualy scan right. Except for one line of one of them and I couldnt find a way to change it. See if you can spot it. Cheers!

abuseActually, it is often pronounced card-nals. So it is five syllables.

abuseSheesh...Now I'm going to launch into an evil parody of the Haiku Police.

"Hey! This Haiku sucks!
'Cardinals' isn't 'Card-nals.'
Let's flame the writer."

Rude comments from other authors may not bother you, but not everyone is as frickin' rude as you are, and some would rather not have their faults pointed out so blatantly.

abusepretty good haiku, but doesn't follow the haiku rules. the second line has 8 syllables(unless you say "ev'rything") and the third line has 6 syllables. that's two too many, so here's one for you:

the haiku police
go telling many other
that they cannot count

but look at their own
they too can't keep seventeen
hypocritical

not to be mean

but some of your haikus really are good.

abuseGreetings from your twin! Too bad your first stab at a real haiku sucks. Ever heard of five-seven-five? DREAMING it sets of seventeen, huh? Nice, but not good enough for the GHKP salute.

abuseWow! Now THIS is the kind of stuff I really like to read. They convey so much and people can actually relate. Good!I'd like to see more of these up here.

abuseLine 2 is eight syllables.
Line three is 6 syllables.
And excuse YOU, but where do you get off cursing people off like my VERY GOOD FRIEND Rachelle Lily? Perhaps YOU should check up your ASSES and find some courtesy among all the ** in there! AND haikus are supposed to be about nature. Stop cursing everybody off! That is one of the lowest things you can do. Flamers like you ** me off. SO SHUT UP AND GET A LIFE!

P.S. I know I am cursing YOU off, but YOU deserve it, not good people like Rachelle Lily.

abuseSuch poise you bestow,
As others throw stones at you,
Do not falter now!

Heck yeah! *gypsy throws hand over mouth and giggles uproariously* Sorry, forgot myself for a moment! Heh... What does it matter? Gypsy's aren't exactly seen as angels... Ya' know? *winks and disappears*

abuseHmm...very nice. For the people who think cardinal is 3 syllables, according to the Oxford American Desk Dictionary it's two -- "ka'ard/nel" (that should be an upside-down e, but that doesn't work in plain text). Also everything is 3 syllables. The prounciation key says "e'vreething." I guess the Haiku Police did their homework after all.

abuseGood. Only to make people stop reviewing saying "You wrote in 5-8-6! For shame!," you could rewrite it with:

Snow covers the land.
Feet of white on ev'rything.
Card'nals can be seen.

Or something like that, anyway. But I liked it. I still wish haiku could be written as one long poem, with each stanza a different haiku, because I never could write haiku and would like to be able to.

God Bless
