Chiku, the mountainbiker's Haiku

Haiku : What u need to know about the Haiku to fully understand the Chiku, local cousin to the Japanese Haiku...

1. A 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

2. Haiku-poems can describe almost anything, but you seldom find themes which are too complicated for normal PEOPLE's recognition and understanding. Some of the most thrilling Haiku-poems describe daily situations in a way that gives the reader a brand new experience of a well-known situation.

3. Each Haiku must contain a kigo, a season word, which indicate in which season the Haiku is set. For example, cherry blossoms indicate spring, snow indicate winter, and mosquitoes indicate summer, but the season word isn't always that obvious.

4. E.g. Buson, Yosa. (1716-84).

Pressing Sushi;
After a while,
A lonely feeling

Chiku :

1. Not your typical syllable, but a "Sillyblur" rider concocts this sorta stuff while waiting to be picked up for prata before epic MTB ride!

2. No change. See above.

3. Kigo : Thunderstorms (forecast for next 3 hours in Singapore, which never materialised! Bad weather reporter, real bad!)

4. E.g. ChiWei Yap (morning of national day 2006)

Waiting outside my place looking at the black clouds.
I see a bird get fried.
Some hairy shit like dirty candy floss.

My ride,
discontinued,
I cried.
