Heh, one of the dudes here at the office and I have started communicating in Haiku when we need to email each other and it's fantastic. For those that aren't familliar with them, Haiku's are japanese poems that dont have to rhyme as we know it but have a 5 - 7 - 5 syllabic line structure.
Here's an example
haiku poems have 3 lines
structured 5, 7, 5
It's a really fun way to communicate with people and after a few goes I think you get into 'Haiku-mode' :-) A conversation that has just happened this afternoon was:
Kirk:
No haikus today?
Maybe all the syllables
Won’t be Japanese
Jon:
As I just got back
I feel a little sleepy
So I'll have a Coke
Kirk:
Good work grasshopper
The caffeine will do you good
Have a chocky too
Jon:
I'm reading comics
Penny arcade and others
"You wouldn’t get it"
Kirk:
I am sure you’re right
If it isn’t the Phantom
I would be confused
Jon:
Penny needed help
about some missing photos
they were never there
Kirk:
I am not surprised
She seems easily confused
By the simplest things
And so on ... :-) It's very stimulating.

This one:
Penny needed help
about some missing photos
they were never there
Reminds me of:
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
and
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
More goodness to be foundhere
Nice Robby =)
Bahhhhhh my head! It's high school all over again!!!
Thanks for sharing Jon
Your blog is inspiring mate
I'm haiku'd right out
I like shiny sporks
and lines about cutlery
want some more dip sweet?
I think your last line in this haiku:
Here's an example
haiku poems have 3 lines
structured 5, 7, 5
...is actually 6 syllables. structured=2 5=1 7=2 5=1 making a total of 6 syllables in your last line.
