Den, in her thread starter writes:"Ok, so, I write a haiku, then the next poster uses the last line of myhaiku... k?;)

Haiku:
1. A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.

2. A poem written in this form."


Just a refresher for what this thread is about. ;)

Only place I've been to in the Carribean is Aruba. It was lovely. Too bad we are so limited in our ability to post photos. I've noticed there's a few photographers on the forum and it would be nice to share pictures. Why does your avatar make you think of the fifties?

Suffer the housework, Lets me
Proscrastinate so.

Weeping Willow
12-22-2005, 11:52 AM
Proscrastinate?? what does this word mean.. my dictonary can't figure it out.. :)

Proscrastinate so
Here is the reason, to why?
Am i still at work

Riesa
12-22-2005, 12:07 PM
No Hebrew for Procrastinate? Amazing!
It means: to put off doing something until a later time, to delay needlessly. Like to wait until the last minute to write a term paper that you've had 3 months to write.:)

Am I still at work?
Daydreams have stolen my thoughts
If not my body.

Weeping Willow
12-22-2005, 12:45 PM
I don't know.. could be a word for it... i search and if i'll find i will tell you... :)
Oh.... thanks for the translation...:p :)

If not my body
Then my soul, my heart, my life
Give them back to me

Weeping Willow
12-22-2005, 01:34 PM
Well there is a word... Procrastinate - "דחה, השהה, עכב"
I just didn't think of it that way..... :)

"דחה, השהה, עכב" well, I never think of it that way, since I can't think in Hebrew!

Give them back to me
Or just shrink me and keep me

Amongst the angst and anger
Of my revulsion.

Hidden misery.

Generation X
Stepping into the river
Gone are the hippies

Riesa
12-22-2005, 09:16 PM
Yes, Virgil, I've been wondering what happened to you. I know you are involved in some serious, intelligent, philosophical debates around this place, but I miss your haiku voice.


Gone are the hippies
Wide-eyed peaceful free spirits
Who brought us free love

Virgil
12-22-2005, 09:22 PM
Those debates unfortunately take up a lot of time. And I don't have that much to begin with. But I am off from work for the next couple of weeks.

Who brought us free love?
Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger?
