No, it's really the worst form of poetry. It doesn't rhyme, it doesn't alliterate, it doesn't sound nice, I really hope it's better in Japanese, in English it's really bad.

the problem is you're generalizing every poem

even if my only exposure to poetry was the shit my teenage classmates wrote in High School, I still wouldn't write it all off as shit

[Anonymous No.405190]

Here's my own poetry I made, it's called Pokudoku. The rules are you have to have the word "shit" in it at least 5 times.

I eat shit, while I shit, when I shit I eat shit, because I like shit.

Really great "poetry" isn't it?
This is how random haiku is, it doesn't actually have a foundation to it.

To me it's about making the best of the limitations you're given. No less valid than "conventional poetry" and actually requires more thinking than simply googling words that ryhme.

That's not what I was implying.

I was saying, why make Haiku when there are so many better forms of poetry? Does it make you feel special? I think Japanese culture should stay Japanese, you just sound like hipsters and the only reason you "like" Haiku is because it makes you feel special, makes you feel Japanese; or somehow because it's Japanese it's good, and anyone who says it's bad just doesn't "get" it because it's foreign.

[Anonymous No.405294]

>>405278

The actual words might sound better in Japanese but you can still make some aesthetically pleasing haiku's in English

[Anonymous No.405318]

>>405291

You're making more unfounded assumptions and even unironically employing the word "hipster"

We are literally just saying we still find that medium is still pleasing in English. Is that so hard for you to believe? You cannot be so stupid. You should definitely get it by now, with this explanation

[Anonymous No.405313]

>>405297
Still sounds better than haikus.

That's the beauty of conventional poetry.

[Anonymous No.405337]

>>405318
"Pleasing" in what way? It's got nothing to it, five syllables and 7 then 5 again, that's it? Really great stuff you've got there, totally isn't just because it's Japanese and not completely mainstream yet, nah totally.

[Anonymous No.405359]

>>405324
It has something to it maybe?

Haiku doesn't rhyme it doesn't alliterate, it has nothing. Rhyming poetry sounds nice or frightening or how ever you want it to sound, Haikus just sound like broken English.

[Anonymous No.405379]

>>405337

I like the haiku's I like because they produce something that sounds interesting/convey an image to me when read. Also, what's with this negative fixation Japan? Neither me or that other guy has even implied that we enjoy the medium simply because it's Japanese; you are ridiculous.

Are you implying that you need rhyming or alliteration to make beautiful poetry?

You know that haiku isn't the only form of poetry that doesn't rhyme, right?

[Anonymous No.405393]

>>405381
That phrase "too deep for you" it's got hipster all over it.

>>405379
Because it doesn't make sense otherwise, there is no way someone can like haikus more than conventional poetry.

If you want people worth speaking to to take you seriously, start realizing that "because they're Japanese" is the only reason people like Haiku's.

Not all of those were me, it seems others agree with me.

I'm glad too, because they're so bad you don't even follow the rules. Haikus are supposed to have a hidden "nature" theme too them or some shit like that

This guy is a class S troglodyte. Fixated on weabooism even as myriad explanations are given as to why various people like haikus. Doesn't understand that poetry doesn't have to rhyme and that it's all about portraying the beauty of language.
