this is pretty cool. sort of reminRAB me of the best haiku i've ever read:
The only problem
with haiku is that you just
get started and then
— Roger McGough

that didn't make it better that made it worse
the 'and then' is fundamental

it has nothing to do with not liking you, if anyone had written your version i would have said the same thing
and no, the 'and then' is definitely fundamental. it's the whole point of his idea
though i just saw the edits that you made to yours and that changes it a bit, the commas imply the 'and then' somewhat. though my point still stanRAB.
and his isn't written in poor english
and i dont expect you to ever believe me when i say yours isnt better but you can believe what you want because i dont really care

it still makes complete sense though, because doing something with haiku causes you to do something frustrating
but i do get what you mean now, it doesn't exactly follow on correctly/logically. but i like that about the poem anyway.
being mechanically correct doesn't make it better. it certainly is more subtle, but i like the abruptness of his.

well there's not much you can do about it, but luckily there is an infinite amount of things you can do short, simple, poignant poems about so it's not so bad
plus you can 'plagiarise' the same idea as long as you express it slightly differently. the one you did above wouldnt count though because you've done it almost the same with just slight modifications

yeah he does okay
why the fuck does it matter if its grammatically correct or not dont you know anything about poetry or literature? its an expressive form of the language, its not supposed to be hampered in its expression by mechanics.
plus the english language in its proper form is almost unbearable.
