Subject: Okay . . . the haiku haunted me

Yeah, after trying to concentrate on my homework, instead haiku was filtering and destroying my thought process. So, figured I'd get it over with.

Dimly glowing light
Firefly cupped in hands
Damn, escaped again

Happened to be that homework I was working on was Japanese. This haiku probably breaks a dozen grammatical rules in Japanese, but phoenetically it sounds nice on the ears:

Sakura furu
Yasashi toi toi yoso
Mizu sesshoku

'Falling Cherry blossoms'
'Gently far far away'
'Touching water'

And if you want the technical phoenetic sound (really nitty gritty) :
'Sah coo (as in cooing) rah fu ru' (but sounds more like 'lu')
'Yah sah she toy toy yo soh'
'Me zoo seh show coo' (again, as in cooing)

Right, yoooooshi back to nehongo homework!!!
Erin!
