Quote

"Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.

Here's a Haiku to help you remember:

I am first with five
Then seven in the middle --
Five again to end.

You sure about that - do we have to include time travel in the solution too?

Hey I got edited !!! Makes me look the dummy doesn't it!

looks like you caught cody in the lastest wall street scandal, backdating of stock options (http://accounting.smartpros.com/x53383.xml).

LOL - I note it can be legal ... sorry to hijack you thread back to Haiku everyone ...

Cody is cute so
we made him our own mascot.
Now we feed him coins.

Not really about Cody, but...

     A Donation mug
     As Cody has instructed
     Off, to brew java

mwb1100 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 13, 2006, 06:34 PM »

And here's one that's really, really not about Cody...

     Contest back in time
     The day, it cannot be right
     Update: tomorrow

i love the back in time one.

Cody has been geedy lately ...

Sweet little Cody ...
Don't eat all donated coins!!!
Mouser will be cross

or Mouser tried to send us all on a time quest (Cody took it seriously) ...

Cody, time trav'ler
Be careful tiny bird or
Caught in endless loops
$:-\$

or Cody sometime feels a bit frisky ... keep a lid on it!

What a bad Cody
Don't go baring all your stuff
You'll be in the BUFF!!!

It captures Cody's spirit.

the time has arrived to pick a winner, and it seems everyone has a personal favorite..

but since nudone is cody's creator, it seems only fitting he should choose the winner.. so Rover gets the cup today.

mouser · « **Reply #21 on:** June 14, 2006, 01:04 PM »

I just received an angry missive from Cody himself insisting that jdd also receive a cup for his haiku (my home is the road).

so congratulations to jdd and Rover both.

app103 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 14, 2006, 01:14 PM »

Congrats, Rover and jdd!

mouser · « **Reply #23 on:** June 14, 2006, 01:16 PM »

they were all great so don't feel bad if you didn't win one - we will be giving out some more cups in the next couple of weeks.

momonan · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2006, 01:24 PM »

The best part about Rover's poem (about not liking haikus) is that it's not really a haiku (the second line has only 6 syllables). Great ironic touch.
