French Terror Alert Raised

[PHBeerman]

The French Government announced yesterday
that it has raised its terror alert level
from "run" to "hide," according to reports
by AP and UPI. The only two higher levels
in France are "surrender" and "collaborate."

The raise was precipitated by the recent
fire, which destroyed one of France's white
flag factories, disabling their military.

PLEASE IF YOU ARE REALLY THAT IGNORANT!

BUT IGNORANCE IS ALLRIGHT! IT JUST MEANS YOU ARE NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH.

What is Haiku?

Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Since early days, there has been confusion between the three related terms Haiku, Hokku and Haikai. The term hokku literally means "starting verse", and was the first starting link of a much longer chain of verses known as haika. Because the hokku set the tone for the rest of the poetic chain, it enjoyed a privileged position in haikai poetry, and it was not uncommon for a poet to compose a hokku by itself without following up with the rest of the chain.
Largely through the efforts of Masaoka Shiki, this independence was formally established in the 1890s through the creation of the term haiku. This new form of poetry was to be written, read and understood as an independent poem, complete in itself, rather than part of a longer chain.
Strictly speaking, then, the history of haiku begins only in the last years of the 19th century. The famous verses of such Edo-period (1600-1868) masters as Basho, Yosa Buson, and Kobayashi Issa are properly referred to as hokku and must be placed in the perspective of the history of haikai even though they are now generally read as independent haiku. In HAIKU for PEOPLE, both terms will be treated equally! The distinction between hokku and haiku can be handled
by using the terms Classical Haiku and Modern Haiku.

Modern Haiku.
The history of the modern haiku dates from Masaoka Shiki's reform, begun in 1892, which established haiku as a new independent poetic form. Shiki's reform did not change two traditional elements of haiku: the division of 17 syllables into three groups of 5, 7, and 5 syllables and the inclusion of a seasonal theme.
Kawahigashi Hekigoto carried Shiki's reform further with two proposals:


Haiku would be truer to reality if there were no center of interest in it.
The importance of the poet's first impression, just as it was, of subjects taken
from daily life, and of local colour to create freshness.

I LOVE IT!!! I have shared it with numerous friends!

Have you heard the disclaimer about French's Mustard ?
I will have to see if I can find it....... but it goes back a while.

Someone (supposedly) wanted French's Mustard to change their name because of the association with France. French's Mustard response, was along the lines of " We will not change our name. We have nothing in common with France or the French other than that our product and the French are both Yellow." Not exactly the way it went but close.

BTW does anyone know, IF it is true, that French tanks have only one forward gear and 12 reverse gears and have reportedly set land speed records for tanks moving in reverse??

[tikitatas]

OHHHHHHHHHH.
Haiku. I know what that is.

Hique looks nothing like haiku.
