This small pocket-sized device would be constantly listening in on the speech of its wearer or anyone else in proximity. When it recognizes three phrases have been spoken, with 5,7,5 syllables in them, it repeats them loudly in a deep, thunderous, and poetically intonated male voice. A silent mode
lets you play back your poems at more appropriate times. A "gold" version of the device listens for the first two phrases and completes haikus with a well-thought out ending.

Aren't real haiku supposed to have a seasonal reference, a shift of image, and some other stuff we occidental barbarians ignore when we translate into English? |
|

shift/clever use of: meaning think fight club for extremely bad example .

to tune your mind to it?

There are rules, of a sort, for modern haiku. |
|
| |
Japanese haiku (a form of poetry) may look simple, but it is actually very structured, with rules for choosing a subject and the way you write about it. The classical form, which goes back to the 15th century, consists of as many as 100 verses in one poem, with each verse having a set number of syllables. Often these poems were written by more than one poet working together. |
|
| |
Modern haiku (since the 1890s), is a short verse complete in itself, using 17 characters. In the Japanese Haiku form, there must be a seasonal word, or kigo, to make it true Haiku. This word is supposed to remind readers of one of the four seasons, without being too obvious (like using the word crisp instead of fall, to suggest cold autumn nights). |
|
| |
It's a large step to produce a haiku generator with this capability. |

I hate you, Haiku
You are way too hard to do.
I can't make one up.

waugs: i think you're right. i had heard that haiku before, so i figured i should post the author's name, since i found it on an internet search. i guess the posting predated the amalgamation. |
