Seemingly so, the last post came a cropper. Friends told me about it being uninteresting, complicated and not very readable. Well, me being a rhino-skinned optimist, it's going to take a lot more than those petty aforesaid adjectives before I dismiss writing too as one of the talents that is a challenge for me, the previous casualty being singing. However that is another story and will save it for some time else. If anything, my resolve has only been strengthened and so my next 'mission' is yet more adventurous, - should call it 'the reverse-GRE syndrome', the more you fail the tougher your next task gets - it's my first step into the world of poetry.
Hopefully, the last word in the above paragraph has scared the meek at heart away, for poetry it ain't any ordinary. It's called Haiku, - if you are acquainted with this term you can save your self the botheration of going through the rest of the paragraph - which was actually a descendent of an ancient japanese form of poetry, and was practiced in its pure form by the true connoisseurs of poesy, until the remix culture created its mutant version which is so popular today. However, the fundamental rules still remain the same; it should contain not more than 17 of what approximate in the english language as the syllables, and preferably in the 5-7-5 format. For a more detailed knowhow check the wiki article on Haiku.
So, it goes like this...
a rainbow by night
when the crescent shines so bright
lonesome is not white
Yeah! that was it. Trust me it took me three 'into bed yet not asleep' thought sessions to fit this idea into the 5-7-5 format.
PS: Please leave me with your thoughts.
