I think I just invented a new form of poem: DUiku

[ashling]

sort of like Haiku in that its short.

take 3 subject lines at random from DU and take up to the first 3 words from each line. Example:

Sunday March for
Insomniacs, maniacs, any
Acne scars.

:dem:

1. very creative, ashling - we should have a contest or at the very least

require a DUiku roundup each day to review the topics.

[Wonk]

2. Words in order from subject lines, but not just the first three, though.

Sugar Land Texas
History? We'll all be dead
Freeperland is down

[ashling]

5. I suppose the varieties are endless

of course, it is theoretically possible to use subject lines from various groups, even freepiku, but Duiku just has so much more class
:dem:

3. Make it follow haiku form - 5/7/5

5 words, 7 words, 5 words from subject lines... :)

I keep hearing Kerry is,
To all DUers outside the United States,
A stronger Force in Iraq.

[ashling]

4. Hey! Get your own poetry form. (Ha Ha)

This one is mine!

actually, there a as many forms of DUiku as there are DUers.

I've been noticing these for some time, but I thought it was just sleep deprivation.:think:
