High Coup

Rules are for people too afraid to break them.

Structure too rigid

Straining for words that fit in

That's why I refuse

(To finish haikus)

YES! YES! YES!
Fight the system. Bend and twist the rules and rebel. Rules are only rules until we cannot be contained within their constraints.
Poke ot, prod it, blow it up to see how it works and then rearrange it however the hell your mind tells it to be. Now that to me is poetry.
You're getting an A+ for this. Love it.

Nice one. This website with its new writes is getting quite interesting.

That's why I do not get bored here at all. :)

[Dylan S]

Haha, this made me smile :) Breaking the rules of writing is usually the most fun once you know how to play by the rules

Step 1. Read the rule book. Thoroughly.
Step 2. Throw said rule book straight out the window, and proceed as usual.

Very clever, in its entirety.

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

:) thx!
Come join the protest!

[Sybil J.]

You're welcome, I've never written a Haiku but I'm mad about chocolate! :)

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

Yeah I'm not a fan of form.
Function is far funkier.

[Papaya]

Cute. A haiku that needs to shed a few words. Or at least a line.
:)

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

How dare you.
Maybe this haiku identifies as half tanka. You don't know, so stop acting like you do.
I think it's beautiful just the way it is.
Extra words and all. It's just more of it to enjoy.
Judger.

I don't know what a tanka is. My bad...
Sorry for implying your haiku was fat.

[Dripping Chocolate Madness]

We prefer "adorable" thank you.

If I remember from my psychotic 3rd grade teacher, a tanka is a haiku with extra lines.
