I just saw the word haiku

And it reminds me of the first time I played "Cards against humanity" a few days ago and no one else knew what it meant, so they decided to skip it and I was so annoyed cause I was sure I was going to get a black card this time with what I came up with lol

It seems weird to me that no one knew what a haiku was, but the more I think about it, the weirder it seems that so many of us do know what it is

@JRVanguard you thought so hard about this lol

But right?! I was shocked at how much I knew and they didn't. For once I felt smart

@SailorMarz
You’re a smart cookie

I’m kinda wondering why they teach us about haikus outside of Japan
They’re specifically made for the Japanese language cause rhyming in Japanese is too easy(far too many words rhyme) for poetry to need to rhyme so poetry is based on syllables rather than rhyming there
