My students wrote haikus about compilers
- lhorie 8y agoFun little trivia: aside from the 5-7-5 syllable structure, there are two other qualities that typically make a haiku a haiku: kireji (a word that marks a separation between two "verses, which works somewhat like punctuation), and kigo (a word that makes a seasonal reference) As such, not all 5-7-5 poems are haikus. One of the more well-known instance of this are senryus, which are generally about humans as opposed to nature. A lot of the poems in that thread actually look more like senryu than haiku (which I feel greatly adds to the entertainment value!)
