Haiku

Imagine the guy (or dudette) who first wrote a haiku was just a lazy artist, a minimalist. Now we got pubescent teens in England nerding over the micro-flow of these poems. I actually said something like this to my sister who learned about them at school. She was counting syllables on her fingers.

All the arts go through the process of scientification. It happens once for some reason the masses come to like a new thing. It gains traction, and boom, explosion of interest. Explosion of scientific analysis. Exploration of technical advancement of the art.

All the maths to prove to the “logicals” among us that divine scripture is divine. Using numbers and geometry in the scriptures’ structures. God really out here catering for everyone’s skepticism. Even the non-believers were given enough to chew on for the rest of their lives.

Imagine the first haikuist wasn’t even a random creative who put lazy words together, but he was a genius well endowed in the art and science of poetry. Imagine there’s actually a thing called the internet where I could find something out about this. I’m not googling this stuff though, I’ll leave that to you. Go ahead and correct me if you dare. The comments are open.

I wanna write one piece of haiku. I don’t know the rules, but I’ll do my best. By the way, Japanese is the original language of this style. Using another language to write this kind of poem is already a rule-breaking move. Syllables, lmao.

It’s actually fun to write small. It’s always this urge to write thousands of words. To keep attention focused on one’s own production for as long as possible. Attention economy peak district. This minimalistic style is maybe a cure. Maybe it’s the TikTok of poetry.

Poetry nerds: do you doomscroll through haikus?

Dopamine detox. That’s what we all need. Even the poem freaks. I love me a beautiful poem. Am I a freak? A friggin frick.

Blockspin on Roblox now has night time. Before it only had day time. You know that’s a next level good update. No one can see the shank digging deep into the pancreas at night. Now we can do jobs during the game’s daytime, and go loot strangers during the night. In the game I said. I’m not condoning this behaviour irl. There are those real ones doing crimes in the middle of the night, but it’s not fun. Maybe it’s fun if you successfully complete a heist, even if it’s a Nintendo Switch. In America I bet it’s thrilling to rob houses. Not only can you carry a gun, but the home you’re gonna rob also likely has guns in it. You could easily die from bullets in the US of A home robbery. This is the kind of adrenaline rush, and dopamine hit you need. Not the TikTok doomscrolling. In the UK I bet the thieves don’t even feel a good rush, because poor grandma can only hit them back with a biscuit tin.

Maybe politeness was a technique developed by the Brits to disarm opponents.

In fact, even if you’re evil you should engage with this blog post. To finish, here’s one more Haiku.
