[The writing is a touch more... calligraphic than Souji's usual. But poetry demands it, even if it's not his own. And even if it's awful.]

Of the seven spring herbs
five I have
put to memory.

Huh?

[She's never heard of haiku.]

It's a kind of poetry.

Usually they're better than that one, though. Like-

old pond . . .
a frog leaps in
water’s sound

Date: 2011-09-05 12:48 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] azhdarchidae.livejournal.com
Poetry that doesn't rhyme? Huh.

Date: 2011-09-05 12:49 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
It's about rhthym, I think. Though I don't know how well it translates.

Date: 2011-09-05 12:55 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] azhdarchidae.livejournal.com
I guess. Seems weird, that's all.

Date: 2011-09-05 12:56 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
What should poetry be like, to you?

Date: 2011-09-06 12:17 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] azhdarchidae.livejournal.com
Oh, you know. Roses are red, violets are blue

[Crap. She can't remember the way that one ends. Quick, come up with something!]

you look like a monkey, and smell like one too.

[There's a few splatters of ink - someone was laughing while holding his brush]

It's not very poetic, but it's funny!

Date: 2011-09-07 12:47 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] azhdarchidae.livejournal.com
That's like, joke poetry. Song lyrics, they're usually poetry too.

Date: 2011-09-07 02:35 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Hmm. I'm more used to songs that tell stories, if they have words at all. Though I guess those areb sort of poetic too.

Date: 2011-09-04 09:52 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com
Is this what I think it is?

Date: 2011-09-05 01:01 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Because they're funny!

[WHY ELSE]

relevant keywords ftw

Date: 2011-09-05 01:43 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com
They could also be private.

[Hi Souji he's here to spoil all your fun.]

pfff

Date: 2011-09-05 02:06 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
[You say that like you think Souji cares]

Nobody from home is here but you and me~

Date: 2011-09-05 02:49 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com
...That's beside the point.

Date: 2011-09-05 05:29 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Well, whoever wrote it can't be here! So they won't mind.

Date: 2011-09-05 06:16 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com
I meant they could be private for a reason.

[pause]

Aside from how bad they are.

Date: 2011-09-05 06:21 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
[Considers this for a moment.... nah.]

No, I just they're they're bad.

Date: 2011-09-05 06:31 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] notpissedoff.livejournal.com
[Too late anyway, other people have seen it. He'll still ink out the first line of his previous comment now, though.]

I hope you're right.

Date: 2011-09-05 12:10 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] feathered-earth.livejournal.com
Is this a poem?

Date: 2011-09-05 12:18 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
It is!

Not a very good one, though, ne?

Date: 2011-09-05 03:06 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] feathered-earth.livejournal.com
If you say so. I don't know very much about poetry.

Date: 2011-09-05 05:35 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
Well. I don't think memorizing seven herbs should be that hard!

Or there's this one-

Though there be but one
A plum blossom will aways
Be a plum blossom

[..............................................]

I don't get it.

Date: 2011-09-05 02:05 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
I don't either! Whoever wrote it must have had a really bad memory though.

Date: 2011-09-05 06:23 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] longnosedliar.livejournal.com
So you didn't write it?

Date: 2011-09-05 09:52 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
No, I found it on the fourth floor.

Date: 2011-09-08 12:50 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
You think so? The meaning seems a bit silly to me.

Date: 2011-09-10 10:51 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] desertshadows.livejournal.com
I do wonder why the writer hasn't put the other two to memory yet! But it is nice in itself.

Date: 2011-09-10 08:38 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] coughcoughshank.livejournal.com
He must have kind of a bad memory, I guess.

Date: 2011-09-11 02:59 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] desertshadows.livejournal.com
I suppose he'd just have to work the harder to remember, then!
