They can't even separate two sentences but they think they understand virology.

I want to break it up in a different way.

I need a pediatrician to see my son. Unvaccinated his pediatrician. Just kicked him out.

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And how about a haiku?

Need pediatrician My son unvaccinated Just kicked him out

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's not a haiku, it needs to be 5, 7, 5 syllables not 6, 7, 4.

The separation of lines matters, it's not just 17 syllables.

Ha! You caught me! Well spotted!

But now seriously, I'll try to address your misconceptions:

That's not a haiku

It is.

it needs to be 5, 7, 5

Not really. That's like the definition for kids in school, simple but not 100% accurate. There's plenty of haiku with different metrics, even single syllable lines.

not 6, 7, 4

I count 5-7-4.

The separation of lines matter

Iirc in Japanese haiku are written in one line.

You are kind of right tho. I think it sounds better like 'He just kicked him out' but I was trying to making it just taking out words from the original post.

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Pediatrician" is 5 syllables on its own, so "need pediatrician" is 6.

Japanese haiku rules who? If it's English and I can't sing it to the Jacksfilms Haiku tune, I'm not calling it a haiku

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 2 points 3 months ago

You are right on the counting. Thanks for the correction! I must've read '-dia-' as a diphthong, I don't think I've ever said 'pediatrician' out loud until now. Still a haiku anyways.

And that tune, almost none of the haiku fit the melody! For singing you have to take into account the accents and on beats. Don't get me wrong I had a good chuckle and may or might not start doing it myself but as a rule of thumb to recognize (or gatekeep) haiku is not the best.

Reading one-line haiku
