Him, The Monsoon and an Haiku...

Him, The Monsoon and an Haiku - Arv


Drops of water fell
like those first rains of monsoon
his life falls again


Note: After the conversation with Ilashree and some further research on syllable sites, I had updated the last line: 'turns blue' replaced with 'falls'. Thanks Ilashree :)

    Oops !! Its NOT a haiku !!

    Check your syllable count.

    The word 'again' is disyllabic.

    That makes, 5-7-6 line syllabic counter.

    That refrains the piece from being a Haiku.

    Anyways, nice thoughts :)

    CHEERS !!

    Hi Princess...

    'Again' is di-syllabic... very true..

    but when you read 'turns blue', its a mono syllabic sound...

    check the syllable count for the lines at

    http://www.wordcalc.com/

    it does meet the 5-7-5 English haiku pattern and so this poetry remains to be an haiku...

    hope it clarifies your doubt :)

    cheers...

    Not exactly dear.

    Visit :

    http://www.wordscount.info/hw/syllable.jsp

    Try to use trusted websites. Unlike other programs, however, the Syllable Counter uses a dictionary to look up the syllable length of words. Because of this it counts syllables more accurately than any other website.

    Have a nice day :)

    And ouuh, please call me Ilashree.

    SMILES :)

    Artz, young lady,

    On the site, copy-paste "his life turns blue again" seven times.

    The result you get is, 42 syllables.

    42/7 = 6 syllables per line.

    Simple mathematics.

    And ahaan, it indeed is fun.

    Lol, am so glad you took it in a cheerful spirit. I was wondering, how you'd react.

    And its cool you amended it so skilfully.

    Cool girl you are.

    ROCKSTAR !! :)
