On Capturing Life with Seventeen Syllables
July 16, 2013
To capture life with
seventeen syllables is
not impossible.
And with seventeen
more you can stretch those words to
capture one bit more.

I really like the idea of this haiku and how you expanded it into two! :)
Thank you for the feedback and encouragement. I will try to continue writing as long as I can, as difficult as it is most of the time. And keep trying with the form haiku. It's difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's all you'll be writing for quite some time. (Lately, I've had an immence amount of haikus that I've been writing.) Thank you, Superhero_Fan.
Titles are very important. Want to know how I found this peice? I subscribed to Superhero_Fan and he commented and creepy as it is I got an email about it. The title intreaged me so I read. I love what you've done! Two hiakus make one! Rock on! I'm glad someone else had the same idea as me (I once wrote a really, really, long love poem constucted by like...7ish hiakus?) Five stars!!!

Good job! I've never been good at haikus. Probably because I'm not good with syllibles! I hope to read more of your haikus soon. Keep writing!
