Haiku in English. A Haiku in English is a short poem which uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature or the season intuitively linked to the human condition.[1] It is a development of the Japanese haiku poetic form in the English language.
Some of the more common practices in English include: use of three lines of up to 17 syllables,[1] traditionally in "5–7–5" form. [a][2][3]allusion to nature or the seasons.[4]use of a caesura or kire represented by punctuation, space, a line-break, or a grammatical break[1] to compare two images implicitly.[5] English haiku do not adhere to the strict syllable count found in Japanese haiku,[6] and the typical length of haiku appearing in the main English-language journals is 10–14 syllables.[7][8] Some haiku poets are concerned with their haiku being expressed in one breath[9][10][11] and the extent to which their haiku focus on "showing" as opposed to "telling",[12][13] i.e., describing rather than explaining.

Roaming beyond Barcelona into Spain’s countryside. Originally published December 11, 2012 at 10:41 AM | Page modified December 11, 2012 at 3:09 PM It’s hard to top Barcelona, Spain’s most cosmopolitan and fun city. I love the place, but I’m not alone. Every year, 10 million visitors swoop into town, rambling the Ramblas, touring hidden corners of the Old City, and marveling at playful Modernista architecture. If you want a break from the crowds, several day trips from Barcelona are tempting scene-changers: the mountaintop monastery of Montserrat, the Salvador Dali museum at Figueres, and the beach town of Sitges.
For almost a thousand years, Benedictine monks have lived atop Montserrat — the “serrated mountain” -- which dramatically rockets up from the valley floor northwest of Barcelona. Legend has it that in medieval times, shepherd children saw lights and heard songs coming from the mountain. For hikers and nature lovers, a funicular climbs nearly a thousand feet above the monastery. Another highlight is the Mae West room. Anyone remember the Crytstal Maze? Need help with (kids) themed games. - wedding planning discussion forums. In what can only be described as a moment of madness I've agreed to doing a Crystal Maze party for my daughter's 8th birthday.
When I was a girl, my dad and I used to watch 'The Adventure Game', and Anna and I now watch the Crystal Maze (on Challenge if you're interested!) To carry on that tradition. We both love it...and so started my predicament. Can any of you wonderful Hitchers think of Crystal-Maze style games (don't have to be authentic) for 8 year olds (or which could be adapted) and which could be set up by a ham fisted amateur in a back garden? Space isn't a problem as a friend of ours has a huge back garden (including an entire field's worth of lawn) he will lend us for Anna's party, but the technological heights of Crystal Maze are some way beyond my competence.
The only game we've definitely decided on is 'Guardian, where is the crystal? ' The Zones in Crystal Maze were: Ocean, Future, Aztec, Medieval, Industrial (replaced with Ocean I think).
