Anyone's but mine. My haiku stinks-as usual..
Hello again:wave: longtimenosee!:D
Goodnight misscaroline! Sweet dreams to you! :D
Shall I pick?
Waiting for horned souls
To creep out of the painting
Of the last judgement.

Yes, it's been awhile . . . are you keeping you intergalatic spirits up?Quote:

We are totally inept. :D
You're dead and buried
We have lost what we once had
I do not care now
You know what? Just ignore me.. I'm going to sleep. I'll be bakc in the morning, when I'm more apt to intelligence in a timely matter...~grumble~
And for those of you missed out on what ShoutGrace was responding to, it was:
Waiting for horned souls
Demons creeping from corners
Bosch comes alive now
But for those of you who didn't, we're ignoring that too. Dang, we are just not in synch...
Ack! The world of haiku moves so swiftly! I'll see if I can catch up using the final line of David's:
Misery and pain
Of the poor sad aching brain
Writing swift Haikus.
Writing swift haikus
Require dexterous fingers.
Almost like a piano.
Almost like a piano
Erratic monochrome keys
Til you know the tune
((Thanks guys... Now that we're fixed, I can actually go to bed...))
Oh yes yes yes! :alien:Quote:

Everyone pretend I don't exist.:(
I love you toni!!! (And doesn't piano have 3 syllables? I think I missed that at first....Dang it Virgil! I liked that one....)
toni, my heart goes out to you, my little alien!! <3 Support for cranky haikuers
I do not care now
Sorrow has taken my life
Into different realms
Into different realms
The artist escapes real worlds
Wondress place creates
Into different realms
My mind prefers fantasy
Screw reality
*Nevermind* Janine beat me to it...
Screw reality
Let's live like Antony and Cleo.
Snuggle up my dear. :D :lol:
Snuggle up my dear
The winter goes by slowly
You must conserve warmth
*Piano question still stands, Virg*
Snuggle up my dear
Can you bring me a cold beer?
Cuddly we are now
too slow, Janine
I give up!
This is getting ridiculous...
You must conserve warmth
The fire is nearly out now
Chop some more pine wood
Cut some more pine wood
Midwinter will arrive soon
Go make the yule log...
Well, strictly speaking, yes. I take liberties with liquifactions. :D Liquifactions are syllabols that flow into each other. A lot of Italian words have them, and they kind of blurr the syllable count. ;)Quote:

In latin, we call them elisions, and your namesake is famous for them. Just how did three syllables turn into one, though? Or rather, how might I say it aloud? Thanks, by the way...And I gave up because I'm probably never going to bed at this point.. I've been trying for an hour, but between you and Robin, there's no rest to be found...
Hey professor Virgil, what are liquifactions - give us example...we are American!Quote:

No- it's autistic license. And believe me, I do it all the time... My play in iambic tetrameter was run amok with invented words and bent or broken words in order to make everything work the way I wanted it to...
Ok so i took a super liberty. :lol: I missed that. :blush:Quote:

Actually I've got the term incorrect:
The second definition applies here and refers to consonants that approximate the sound of a vowel.Quote:
liquid
NOUN: 1a. The state of matter in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow, little or no tendency to disperse, and relatively high incompressibility. b. Matter or a specific body of matter in this state. 2. Linguistics A consonant articulated without friction and capable of being prolonged like a vowel, such as English l and r.
I'm not sure what it's called when syllables flow into each other. I've been using liquifaction incorrectly. Perhaps I've made it up. :confused:
No- the definition is correct, now that I think about it. When I'm playing with Virgil's Aeneid (which, yes, I actually play!) I scan it for meter- one of the rules is that the liquids are always not considered actual consonants... More commonly, you'll be calling it an elision. that's where two vowels (usually) run together and the second vowel sound is the one audible. An example: qui cono esse... or whom I think to be... the cono and esse would run together and the es would be the prominent sound- the no is essentially abandoned audibly...NOT that big of a deal, love...
IT basically becomes qui conesse. You weren't really that far off...
I'll have to look into what you're saying here. Unfortuantely it's bed tme for bonzo. ;)Quote:
