Norman & Japanese Haiku Norman & Japanese Haiku - Melrakki Recorded at Bardic Madness 2019 in the Barony of the Cleftlands Norman & Japanese Haiku Write both a Japanese and Norman Haiku. Traditional Haiku: There are only three lines, totaling 17 syllables. First line is 5 syllables. The second line is 7 syllables. The third line is 5 syllables like the first. Punctuation and capitalization are up to the poet, and need not follow the rigid rules used in structuring sentences. Haiku are often considered nature poems. Interesting web article found with more information about Japanese Haiku for those interested: https://www.tofugu.com/japan/haiku/ Norman Haiku: Rule 1: Touch on the themes of Love, Fashion, and Sheep Rule 2: Must be 17 Syllables Rule 3: Last 6 syllables must be "Icky, icky, icky." (*Optional: A 4th theme: Death! Although not *required* at all, the truly great Norman Haikists have always been able to work death into some of their poetry.) Example of Norman Haiku: Acknowledged by the Boreal Master and all scholars everywhere - even those in unrelated fields - as THE purest and most classical example of Norman Haiku is this: "No sheep, there I stood, courting Death in my shorts! Icky, icky, icky." "Norman Haiku - A Made-Up Poetry Form From The West Kingdom" As taught by Dahrien Cordell at KWCB VIII Saturday afternoon: Long ago, Master Gerald of Ipsley told me that someone in the West taught him about this uproariously silly and fun form that really has little to do with any medieval poetic endeavors I've ever heard of. This class has even been taught at Pennsic University, which should lend it absolutely no additional credibility. So hide your rank, wear a mask, don't tell the Laurels, then laugh when they sit beside you! (Battery not included.) |

Post-Revel Midrealm Bardic Madness 2017 We had a limited amount of time for the Post-Revel/Bardic Circle after Mid-Realm Bardic Madness XIX: Bardic By the Numbers - Primus to Extremus, 18 November 2017, and so everyone was asked to just pick, pass, or play without introduction or explanation. I decided it would be more fun to edit it all together as one piece so everyone could get the feel of what it was like. Other than a few technical difficulties, here is most all of what went on for the last two hours of the event. Enjoy! |
