Sad, Mad or Bad? - I always wanted to be a dino, but alas, I'm just old. Started conversation Dec 16, 2000
Yes, boys and girls, I have been inspired! Nick O'Teen has introduced me to the art of the Haiku, and now there's no stopping me!
Yes, you too can contribute to the exciting world of Haiku. I'll start (I warn you, I'm still having trouble with the syllable count, so don't expect the darn thing to work). Here's the Haiku rules. The lines have to be Five syllables, seven syllables, and five syllables. Once you've shown yourself up to the challenge, post a topic for the next person to Haiku-ise!)
Haiku challenge me!
For I, once ignorant, now
am entranced by you
