Heiku is the Japanese version

(That is the first line of the next one)

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 16:31:35

I always thought 'heiku' was Persian

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 16:34:27

Spelt it wrong - meant Haiku

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 16:36:20

Not a Persomath like you

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 16:41:34

Elegran! My post was meant to be the second line, I'm not actually fluent in Persian...hmm

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 16:42:21

Or at all, for that matter.

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 16:55:53

It scanned, so I replied so as to scan - so all we need now is the last line!

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 16:57:58

But we seem to improve with immersion! (Howzat, Ana)

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 17:00:07

Oh, well done Elegran! (my misunderstanding aside...blush)

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 17:06:58

You were pretty good with that line though - doing it quite unconsciously!

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 17:10:14

No, I did it consciously! To rhyme with 'version'...

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 17:15:45

So the misunderstanding was mine! We are as bad as each other.

Young Shakespeare was out with his Gran

Dragonfly1 Tue 22-Apr-14 17:18:25

They were trying to snare her a man,

MiniMouse Tue 22-Apr-14 17:26:53

But Hamlet was busy

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 18:13:23

MacBeth was a cissy

MiniMouse Tue 22-Apr-14 18:34:33

And the rest hurried off in a van!

NanKate Tue 22-Apr-14 18:42:23

Nan Shakespeare decided to try

MiniMouse Tue 22-Apr-14 18:49:10

A sneaky approach by and by

Dragonfly1 Tue 22-Apr-14 19:21:30

She dressed as a fella,

AlieOxon Tue 22-Apr-14 19:45:14

And pulled Cinderella

NanKate Tue 22-Apr-14 20:13:44

And Cinders squealed 'What a Guy' ! grin

papaoscar Tue 22-Apr-14 20:46:21

Hamlet cried out "That's not on!"

Dragonfly1 Tue 22-Apr-14 21:06:19

'Alas, poor Yorick, be gone!'

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 21:16:46

To a nunnery, Ophelia!
