Thunderbolt haiku

**phantomog** · 03-07-2011, 09:48 AM

Looks like nothing is happening today... let's pass the time, hit me with your best TB haiku!

Verizon how cruel,
Valentine's so long ago...
Where is Thunderbolt?

Each morning we pray,
Cell phone god's, release the BOLT!
Then read posts all day...

Why Verizon why
oh so many rumor's out
NEVER buy Iphone

**NY Reco** · 03-07-2011, 09:57 AM

Verizon can't plan
An important phone release.
Yet here I still wait.

**Green_Laser** · 03-07-2011, 10:35 AM

no phone, no good.

The new Thunderbolt
It's the same as the Inspire
But it costs triple

Obsessing each day
Need to release frustration

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

Dream of Thunderbolt
Wake up and go check Google
Nerd rage continues

That's ok, there is actually only one haiku in this thread so far, lol. The idea that haiku is three lines with five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables is correct but misleading when done in english. Japanese syllables are much shorter, so seven syllables in japanese convey a lot less information than seven syllables in english. So in order to convey the proper length and content of haiku in english do not count syllables but beats, haiku should be about 2-3-2 beats. So Green_Lasers example is closer to proper haiku than any of the others.

Thought I'd give you guys something to think about rather than the Tbolt, lol.

Haha cool! Thanks for the feedback. Originally my post was only the first 2 lines. After I had submitted I noticed the trend is 3 lines (what can I say, first time haikooing :-). So after I saw everyone with 3 lines I went and added a third line on mine.

Been fun reading these and haikooing with you guys.. Now where is the BhunderTolt!
