what is going on here?

It seemed such a good idea - convert all 52 episodes of Blake's 7 into haiku in a feeble attempt to raise my stock with people on the Blake's 7 mailing list. Of course, I wasn't up to it. So I threw it over to other members of the list, and hosted on these pages are the fruits of our labour. I'm sure you'll agree we are bloody geniuses.

Also here is a page in honour of Bernie Hunt's contributions, and also the haikus that Matthew and I wrote for the Seven Deadly Virtues challenge on the Other List.

haiku?

You don't know? Oh, this can't be making much sense then, can it?

From the Art of Haiku Poetry site: 'Haiku is a contemplative poetry that valorizes nature, color, season, contrasts and surprises. Usually it has 3 lines and 17 syllables distributed in 5, 7 and 5. It must register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. It's almost like a photo of some specific moment of nature. More than inspiration, it need meditation, effort and perception to compose a real haiku.'

Did we achieve these lofty goals? Go and see.



think you can do better?
