What's a bonce?

Aha, nailed it! LEANDER !
Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

We have a winner
Your bonce is your head.
Sigh...was hoping i'd retire undefeated in this one. A screenshot too far.
Leander is apparently lionman in Latin so lionheart was close - sort of.

Hmmm, I' don't know i've never done haiku before
Haiku is a Japanese structure poem format. It consists of three lines with five, then seven, then five syllables. Generally, they are meant to be expressions of sensation (usually of nature). That is, something you saw, or smell. Like little poetry photographs.
Didn't haiku develop from the final "answering" part of a longer structure, the renga: a thing rather like a sonnet, where an idea is introduced, developed then replied to, or thrown into a new light? So a haiku could be compared to the closing couplet of a ShakespeareanSonnet.
The RenGa consists of a waki (sp?) followed by a hokku (sp?). These forms have been translated into English as 7-7, 5-7-5. Also, the RenGa is a truly collaborative form of poetry - so a RenGa wiki page is much more ideal than a HaiKu wikki page. Also, wakki just so happens to sound a whole lot like wiki.
Haiku is usually spooged into its basic 5-7-5 format and then used to say anything. This is ok, provided you recognize that you're not really writing Haiku.
I've also heard that the 5-7-5 format is too easy in English to suggest the same kind of profound economy that a Japanese haiku would.'
More importantly, it is difficult to even count syllables in English. How many does 'file' have? What about '****'? In Japanese, syllables are always clearly delimited.
If you think the answer to both questions is One, understand that a Japanese speaker would normally pronounce them as fai-ru and shi-to.
''And even more, Japanese do not count syllables, but "uttering time". i.e.: DÔ (way), as it has a "long O", counts as TWO "syllables".''

could be fun?
'bird flaps wings of wind,
As-tride his mount hero tri-umphs?
Death sees leaves fall-ing'
could be for 'Joust' for example as a loose(and quick!) haikuish example. If your really clever you could try it in japanese!

Ok, here we go. My first Haiku, we'll forget about Japanese.
