Yumenofude 11 Posted December 12, 2018 The basis of play: face-off, advance, clash or turn -- 'til one falls or leaves. (I'm afraid this isn't very lyrical... but I'll try again soon. I really like the notion of sumo as a topic for haiku.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each vowel will be one "syllable" - or, a term of art I recently learned, "more" ("moh-ray"). Ta-chi a-i. Of course, if I was being completely strict with "more" rather than syllables, I'd have to make a very harsh rewrite of my latest effort. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orandashoho 702 Posted January 16, 2019 Life can be cruel It had been so sweet before But now it's a hell Gone are the glories, Remaining is a nightmare, There is no escape You try to hang on But it'is slipping away Everyone knows it igniominiously with honour fretted away, the fight is over. This fall is painful, Its wound will need long healing But there is a cure. A new life awaits with Oyakata honour and regained respect Always remembered as the national champion ending a long drought. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
