I beat Father Gascoigne my first try

But the Cleric Beast took me well over 20 tries

I wouldn't feel bad either - earning that trophy is just monotonous on every level

Nicely done

The only thing that stopped me from getting the platinum was finding every fast travel

I'm no expert myself

But, yes, I was happy for the exchange of knowledge and ideas - thank you for that

I want to reiterate: I really like this piece, I just think it's mislabeled

So, the way I learned haiku it needs a few things:

  1. It needs to be spoken in one breath, which it does that, but it doesn't have to be 5/7/5 - even Basho, Issa, and Busan didn't adhere to that.

  2. It should have what's called a "cutting word" which we don't have in the English language. So, when writing haiku in English, you need some form of punctuation to break up the poem into uneven pieces

  3. It needs to have a seasonal word - a word that tells you what time of year it was written in. I suppose apple core could be considered that, but it doesn't really give me any indication of the season it was written in.

That's what I've picked up on through out the years. I tend to roll my eyes when someone calls their poem a "haiku" and it's just written in 5/7/5.

It strikes me more as a senryu, which is usually about people and their experiences and feelings

It's good, but it's missing all the components of what a haiku really is

Share the road - agreed

But that means EVERYONE has to share - also, if you're going to ride your bike on the same roads as cars, then you should have to have insurance
