Haiku Critters Comp

Cintaria · 24-04-2006, 21:15

Create an original haiku for critters and you could win 250Pu

For the un-enlightened, a Haiku is a three line poem. The first line is made of 5 syllables, the 2nd line made of 7 syllables, and the last line made of 5 syllables.

Example:

Beware my Critter
Pay for another
Ressurection fool!

The best haiku will win 250Pu. 2nd place will get 150Pu.
This competition will remain open until Sunday 30th April.
You can enter as many times as you want.

Have fun

[edit]

Well, the competition is over

Since BabyBear is the only one who's submitted a haiku, he's the winner

1st prize goes to BabyBear

What are syllables? O.o ( I hate being a foreigner

)

Hillsy · 25-04-2006, 16:46

sylables is for example:

Total Format - normal
Toe-Tul Four-Mat - split into sylables.... wierd to explain but its how you pronounce the word kinda thing....

syl·la·ble (sĭl'ə-bəl) pronunciation
n.

1. A unit of spoken language consisting of a single uninterrupted sound formed by a vowel, diphthong, or syllabic consonant alone, or by any of these sounds preceded, followed, or surrounded by one or more consonants.

2. One or more letters or phonetic symbols written or printed to approximate a spoken syllable.

2. The slightest bit of spoken or written expression: Do not alter a syllable of this message.

tr.v., -bled, -bling, -bles.

To pronounce in syllables.

[Middle English sillable, from Anglo-Norman, alteration of Old French sillabe, from Latin syllaba, from Greek sullabē, from sullabein, second aorist of sullambanein, to combine in pronunciation : sun-, syn- + lambanein, to take.]

That would be the dictionary definition

Cintaria · 25-04-2006, 18:06

Nice definition o.0
It's the number of different sounds per word.
Name has 1 syllable
Syllable Has 3 syllables; syl·la·ble
David has 2 syllables; Dav·id
Geography has 4 syllables; ge·og·raph·y
Getting the idea?
Ressurection has 4 syllables; Ress·ur·ec·tion

Then it's what i thougt it ment.... but then again i don't get the example....

If i count right then there are 5 syllables in every line instead of the 7 in line 2, or is that just me?
