LIVE POLL: Famous Movie Quotes as Haikus

@dan_dassow​ 

I'm sure she would :)

I suspected you'd like it too.

Thanks

@Peter_pbn​ 

Sonnets have more restrictive rules than haikus, I'm afraid it'd take too much space... but I'll think of making a poll with alexandrine movie lines.

@ElMaruecan82​ and @Peter_pbn ,

It can be done. However, sonnets tend to be long. For example I asked Google Bard the following and got the sonnet below.

= = =

Use the following as the basis of a Shakespearian sonnet:

Our bodies are earth. Zzz.

We sleep - We eat with death.

And our thoughts are clay.

= = =

From earthly clay, our bodies we behold,

A fragile form, a vessel to embrace,

Where thoughts like tendrils, intricate and bold,

Unfold, entwined within this mortal space.

In slumber's grasp, our consciousness suspends,

A realm of dreams where shadows softly play,

Where life's incessant clamor gently ends,

And thoughts like embers fade into the gray.

Yet in this stillness, life's essence does endure,

A spark unextinguished, ever bright,

A silent symphony that will procure

New melodies of being, shining light.

For death's embrace is but a transformation,

A passage from the seen to unseen spheres,

Where thoughts transcend their earthly limitations,

And soar to realms beyond our mortal fears.

For the record, I was kidding.

@Peter_pbn​ 

Kid me, kid me not

Sonnets, alexandrines

Poetry makes polls

@Jessica​ 

Okay, I added like 3 or 4 spaces between each line in the first entry, can you tell me if it's readable now, so I can apply it to the others.

@ElMaruecan82​ 

I still see this:

Our bodies are earth. Zzz.

We sleep - We eat with death.

And our thoughts are clay.

Should be:

Our bodies are earth.

Zzz. We sleep - We eat with death.

And our thoughts are clay.

How about now?

@ElMaruecan82​ ,

@Jessica indicated blank lines between lines of text, not blank spaces at the end of each line. Sadly, the poll admin tool has quirks; this is but one of them.

Got it, how about now?

@ElMaruecan82​ ,

Got it, how about now?

Thank. It looks great.

I'm still having a hard time choosing just one. In haiku form, the quotes take on a lyrical aspect.

@ElMaruecan82 ,

I do not understand why the text wrapped considering you added blank lines in between the lines of text.

@HamidrezaMpmm​ 

Yes and no. They were based on actual movie quotes but I had to rephrase them so they could blend in harmony with the poetic simplicity of haikus... and it wasn't simple at all

@ElMaruecan82​ ,

I realized when I reviewed your poll suggestion that you put a lot of work into adapting the movie quotes to the haiku poetic form. I'm still in awe that you came up with so many lovely poems.

@ElMaruecan82​ They were really beautiful poems,I hope you continue to be a poet, I also sometimes write poetry💐🙏, but we don't usually sing haiku, it's mostly sonnets(ghazal).

The end of each stanza ends like this

1#     2#

3+     4#

5-      6#

to the end

good luck (:

I just love poetry, French poetry principally but also English poetry and -as a matter of fact- Arabic poetry, too, I used to study that in school (ghazal, rithaa, etc.) funny because in Moroccan, ghazal is associated to flirting or sweet-talking lol

@ElMaruecan82​ In Iran, however, the poems are usually associated with mysticism, monotheism(towhid) and life lessons, of course, all of these are in the form of romantic poetry, for example, poets such as mulana (Rumi), Hafez, Saadi

@HamidrezaMpmm​ 

Forgive my ignorance, I'm only familiar with Omar Khayyam...

@ElMaruecan82​ By the way, your information is very good.
The interesting thing about Khayyam is that in Iran and the world he is known mostly as a poet, but he was mostly a scientist (philosopher, mathematician and astronomer).
His poems are usually quatrains (robaei)
just four

1#  2#

3+  4#

Come my friend. Let s forget the cares of tomorrow.

And instead enjoy this moment of our life.

For tomorrow when we have left this ancient abode.

We shall be equal to all the seven thousand year olds!.
