Yeah, Haiku is not what I would call 'deep' poetry, even when it's not written as a vehicle for bad puns. ;^) That's partly because it's so 'easy' -- almost anyone can put one together. But I also think that gives it a certain charm. What other form of poetry is so accessible? Well -- perhaps the limerick... ;)<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-72277957219719861732013-10-28T12:30:40.631-04:002013-10-28T12:30:40.631-04:00@Alex: Thanks!

And while I really admire the ability of a good poet to paint a vivid image with words, I don't think I'd go so far as to consider my tongue-in-cheek haiku puns real "poetry". ;^)<br /><br />@Suze: Thank you very much! And I like that one, too. :)<br /><br />@Joanne: Thanks! Yeah -- when you can find a way to combine poetry, Star Trek, and a bad pun together, you know it's a good writing day. ;) <br /><br />@Miranda: Thank you! And give it a try. Haiku can range from 'serious' to completely silly, and it's one of the easiest forms of poetry to put together. There can be quite a bit of debate about what is a 'real' Haiku, but one of my favorites was written by Rolf Nelson:<br /><i>Haikus are easy.<br />But sometimes they don't make sense.<br />Refrigerator."</i><br /><br />@L. Diane: Thanks! But I actually think I took a bit of artistic license -- I don't know if Picard would ever greet someone with a "Hi." ;)<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-5471235204195421772013-10-28T12:29:42.023-04:002013-10-28T12:29:42.023-04:00Loved these. :) Haiku isn't my favorite poetry...Loved these. :) Haiku isn't my favorite poetry form, mostly because...I dunno...I feel like it's created out of an intimidation with other forms--because it's easy to string a certain number of syllables together and call it a poem. But yours, with the additional challenge of a humorous twist, made the words work a little harder. I don't think I'll be able to watch Next Gen without thinking of the Picard one. :)Faith E.
