Sometimes haikus are happy,
Sometimes they are sad,
Sometimes they are both.

Hi my name's Shaheena, or shapeenur, whatever floats your boat, whatever grinds your h- I mean. Yeah. Whatever floats your boat. I've recently been described as a 'social recluse' while in a social situation, so. I like, no, love writing, I particularly LOVE writing and reading poetry; I'd really appreciate if you checked out any of my works. :).

@were ikik I was trying to make it an ironic haiku, sort of mixed and matched, I'm aware that its not technically a haiku.
And just an interesting fact to note, a haiku doesn't necessarily have to be built of 5 7 5, as the poems are traditional Japanese ones; the Japanese rules state that it has to be built of seventeen syllables, that's a must follow rule. However, in Japan letters such as 'n' count as there own separate syllable, therefore a line which we would class as consisting of four syllables would actually be five. The act is that as haikus adapt in western countries many people feel as if there are plenty rules to stick to without ruining the traditional haiku. So forth, people tend to criticise other haikus for a mistake. When they are in fact perfectly acceptable. So, even though my haiku doesn't follow the traditional line of the norm, adaptations in today's world tend to only follow one rule, three lines and seventeen syllables. Sorry for the lecture, but I'm in the midst of studying for poetry analysation:L
@were np, sorry for rambling though, I tend to when I'm engrossed in poetry. Thanks for the brilliant repost and 'π' βΊπ
