The News in Haiku
Haiku is a mode of Japanese poetry, the late 19th century revision by Masaoka Shiki of the older hokku , the opening verse of a linked verse form, haikai no renga. The traditional hokku consisted of a pattern of approximately 5, 7, 5 on. The Japanese word on, meaning "sound", corresponds to a mora, a phonetic unit similar but not identical to the syllable of a language such as English. (This is the Wikipedia definition).
This website presents news stories as Haikus. Eg The story about the seriously ill cancer patient who won $1 million –
Cancer patient wins
but payment plan won't save him
Lottery life line?
I guess this is someone creating these or it is a pretty clever generator.
