JMO August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 (edited) Okay, here's my challenge to all of you great haiku writers now: Post your haiku, let's see if we can figure out which episode it's for. First one's a 'gimme': Callous beauty, wounded soul Sorrow cleansed In flood of elephant's tears. Edited August 6, 2015 by JustMyOpinion 1 Link to comment

Old Dog August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 Hmmm...I was thinking of Uncanny Valley too. Seven Seconds? Yes it is supposed to be Seven Seconds. It must be bad to be a struggle to be guessed! Link to comment
JMO August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 Yes it is supposed to be Seven Seconds. It must be bad to be a struggle to be guessed! I don't think any of these are bad---much the contrary, in fact. I'm very impressed with what everyone has produced, because I think haiku is probably the hardest thing to write. I've got a friend who has published volumes of short stories and poetry, and has now gotten into haiku. It can take him a full week to come up with just the right line! I don't have the discipline (and don't like to count), so it's not something I'll ever be good at. But I love what the rest of you have come up with. I will have to limit my attempts, because I'm in the middle of a more wordy enterprise. But I enjoy reading yours! Please keep them coming. 3 Link to comment

No JMO, it is fun to guess - it just makes me worry about being too obscure. There's no stopping me now! Constellations bleed Transcending mortality The madness persists. 2 Link to comment

JMO August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 So, the thing I'm learning from this, even when we don't get it right, is not about the writer of the haiku. it's about the writers of the actual show. There has to be some consistency there, or we wouldn't be able to apply the same haiku to more than one episode. Or, does that mean a lack of creativity? Oh, dear..... 1 Link to comment

Bookish Jen August 6, 2015 Share August 6, 2015 THIS IS THE GREATEST THREAD EVER. Isn't it? I just love how clever and creativity my PTV CM Besties are. We should put the haikus, the song titles we have for Spencer, Hold My Earrings, amongst other delights found in this thread and put them in a scrapbook for the CM cast. I bet they'd get a kick out of it. 2 Link to comment
