Composition　・　作り方

Hello

Currently, because somehow (miraculously) I managed to finish work due this week (meaning I should start on next week's work which I have...), I'm trying to piece haiku together using　phrases from lyrics in Japanese songs. =P

I know, this is such a nerdy, literary thing to do. I'm sorry...

Unfortunately, the nice phrases tend to come in 7 syllable phrases which doesn't really fit a haiku which is 5-7-5, but because I don't know renga (5-7-5-7-7) I can't write it. Hmm.

Hence this is the creative process... (Creativity doesn't just lie in the end product, but also exists within the creation of the final product - as I have learnt in my Psych of Creativity class =P)

7 syllables
星に願いを
真っ暗な夜
心は揺れる
(technically 8 syllables but there's some leeway in haiku =P)
顔のない天使
空に返すから

5 syllables
夢を見た
心まで
粉雪(よ、ね、は、が、など)
世の中に
目を閉じて

...

Try-outs...

世の中に
星に願いを
夢を見た

目を閉じて
真っ暗な空に
夢を見た

心中
一人の孤独
空に返すから

柔らかな
クリームを入れて
愛の味

(I'm starting to get distracted by thoughts of my food project for psych class...)

レイヤには
ふわふわケーキ
まめがある

オブーンに
ケーキ食べちゃった
熱いのに

塩甘い
砂糖しょっぱい
ケーキ苦い

And so on... I would continue because it's fun but I'm getting sleepy.=X And I would also explain them but I'm pretty lazy now... 读者们,不要懒惰，自己去翻译！

Other things I need to do include
- finish a novel for class
- work on Japanese project
- work on Psych project
- prepare for next week's classes
- figure out how to study for JLPT in summer... (T_T)
- figure out plans for summer ... more (T_T)

Hmm. I guess I'm not as free as I thought I was. O well. I guess I'd better utilize the long weekend that I've been blessed with! =)

cheers
