Haiku
Haiku (俳句) is a fucking stupid form of Japanese, consisting of 17 moras, in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively. In Japanese, every letter of the alphabet is a single syllable, hence the emergence of syllable-play as an art form. This means that the only reason to ever, ever, ever, EVER write a haiku in English is as a desperate attempt to be arty and Wapanese inbetween cursing the roundness of your eyes and shoving Pocky down your urethra.
Examples below:
I hate you fuckers. Why so angry? Cause I am. I fuckin' you guys.
Sick on a journey Over parched fields Dreams wander on.
Lightening Heron's cry Stabs the darkness
Dead bitches don't scream. A cold tight cunt makes me hot. Mortician school rocks!
Don't count the syllables, you fucktard, they are translated.
And now the original:
ですですで ですですですで ですですで
(Translation)
Desu desu de Desu desu desu de desu desu de.
