Compressed poetry poetry - The Raven in haiku form

Nov 10, 2005 20:42

"Bird perched on Pallas
Is Lenore now in Aidenn?"
Quoth the raven, "no"

Tomorrow I'm going to Stockholm for the ACM NWERC. Eep!

Edit:
Hmm.. shouldn't the first line in a poem be about something fleeting? I fear that mentioning Pallas kind of disrupts that. I'm not sure what would be a good rewriting, though.

Wow, good luck! What's your team name?

Thanks! In respect of the Waterloo colours and our country's main export, we are Black Gold of the Univeristy of Oslo.

Are you in the finals this year?

I think I am. As a guest...

I've been there twice already :(

Good luck from Waterloo! (By the way, Black and Gold are pretty good team components to have.)

Wow. Your insight into my poetry is even better than mine!
I might call upon your advice when I turn Paradise Lost into a sonnet.

And, thanks!
