Of all poetic forms, haiku stands as one of the most elegant and immediate – a rare combination that creates an aura of mystery and artistry. This creative ambrosia, combined with an exotic history embedded in the courts and hillsides of Japan, has made haiku globally popular for the past century.
With the challenge of precisely conveying a natural movement as a universal moment in three lines and 17 or fewer syllables, it is easy to see why Western poets like W.H. Auden, Jack Kerouac, Gary Snyder, Jorge Luis Borges, Billy Collins, Allen Ginsberg, e.e. cummings, Ezra Pound, Joanne Kyger, Anne Waldman, Richard Wright, and Sonia Sanchez fell in love with haiku.
(Yeah, The Donk came up with the shit above.... not....)
nevertheless, given the fun we had at Seeweed's expense coming up with "Seeweed Haiku" in another thread, I decided to start one in the SBR Poker Community, to enable all SBR poker players to express themselves and to sum up their SBR poker playing experiences in this unique form of 5-7-5 syllable poetry......
My personal submission:
Big hand dealt to Donk
Ahead when the chips go in
Runner Runner NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
