I’ve never been very comfortable counting syllables. This means that although I love the idea of Japanese Haiku I’ve always been a bit nervous about writing them because it reveals my ignorance of such things.
The competition on Icing asking for a Haiku about a friend has forced me to action though. I’ve read up on how to count syllables and believe that I can now count syllables. Yipee. It’s all to do with the vowel sounds apparently.
My suggestion for you to do today:
Think of something that you want to understand but keep putting off and have quick look at sources of illumination on the Internet. Use wikipedia, an online encyclopaedia or bulletin board. Just answer that craving for knowledge. Believe me, you’ll feel better for it.
