Radiant sun meets solitary moon,
when leaves fall, ice cracks, earth trembles,
our many winding paths converge.

this haiku was based purely on word count, not syllables. read about haikus they are not as simple as syllable counting as japanese doesn't work by syllables. 5 7 5 word count haiku. thanx for reading it!

Wat?

Japan does work by syllables, or on, as I just read. Its just there are different styles of Haikus, and one of them doesn't go by on. Haikus are generally as simple as, 5,7,5. Or 17 syllables, and in some cases, less.

Removing a bust?
Obviously a cheater,
with a loaded deck.

Dark Knight left the group,
Angry that a Corsair beat him,
with wildfire damage. (true story)

Not FF related, but:
Solitary wolf,
Howls across to shake and quiver,
the moon in its dance.

--edit--

blast you haiku thread
you will have me up all night
trying to make more

You're right, Japanese doesn't use syllables, it uses morae, which roughly correspond to syllables. Hence haiku have 5 morae - 7 morae - 5 morae in Japanese.

Who ever heard of a 5-7-5 word haiku >_>
