#a haiku specifically

Essie: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-

Whole: I wrote you a poem.

Essie, already crying: You did?

Where does the haiku bot find all the posts? I am SO fucking confused

[small-birdie]

A companion to this poll. As with that, I’m not claiming that all of these are universally liked, just needed a concise summary.

Reblog for sample size please?

[soulmvtes]

i need to read every poetry anthology ever

[caputvulpinum]

the term is not kigu it's kigo (季語)

Yeah I will fully admit when I woke up this morning to see seanan mcguire had reblogged it my immediate thought was "no it has such an embarrassing misspeaking on my partttt". I think I remember when writing the post originally thinking it was kigu, and then correcting myself with "No, that's the pajamas, it's kigo", and then double-psyching myself out by going "Wait, no, it's kigu and you're overthinking things" and going with that.

Father

Sometimes, selfishly

I wish for no Father's Day

And its reminders

I try to take joy

In others' relationships

And celebrate them

But there is always

That little girl asking me

Where did Daddy go?

I am older now

I could have been a mother

If I'd felt it right

No one is psychic

I couldn't promise a child

They'd never ask, too

So instead I write

About men who guide others

Make others feel safe

Be there for others

And give time for themselves too

Men who love freely

I know of a few

Good men fate has not yet blessed

This day is theirs, too

What do you call these babies?!?! They are DELIGHTFUL and I want them so bad right now. Savory stuffed taro root that is then deep fried. I had them once at a dim sum place but didnt order them myself. I've seen them referred to as wu gok on a cursory internet search. much appreciated if anyone would input their knowledge on this wonderful food

I always want them- incredible, delicious, and wonderful treats

I became mildly obsessed with making a haiku out of Taylor Swifts “Clara Bow” because the line:

You look like Taylor

Swift In this light We're loving

it, You've got edge (she never did)

Is almost a haiku but it doesn’t make any since with ‘she’ and it doesn’t have the right amount of syllables without, which was pissing me the fuck off. So obviously I had to make a haiku out of some part of the song…

Easy right? To make a haiku out of a few lines? It’s just 17 syllables, it can’t be that hard.

I had so much trouble and all I managed to come up with was this:

Take the glory, give

everything Promise to be

dazzling, you look like…

Which, while I do like it, you have to know it in the context of the song. Like if you heard this or saw this somewhere, it wouldn’t make since. Which is just really annoying.

Ugh I hate poetry

[rizzlegukgak]

i got myself so worked up over that poem post because i made the mistake of looking into the notes
