Sippy's Poetry, Verse, Haiku & Ponderings

That was cold blooded, but funny.

You know you're gonna pay for that, right?

Irish thinks he's so funny
But I wouldn't like him if he paid me money
He wants to control all haikus
What he needs is a stiff drink of booze
Maybe it'd make him chill
And not be so doggone ill
Or remove the bug from his ass
And show a little class
There's room for both of us here
But he didn't like me near
So I made my very own place
Just to get out of his face
But that wasn't good enough for him
He attacks me at every whim
Chirping crickets was kinda mean
Toward the low road, Irish does lean
It's okay, though, I forgive him
As the light in his mind is so dim

Nice but it definately invites a nasty retaliation!

That's the whole purpose!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Haiku is a kind of Japanese poetry. It was given this name the late 19th century by Masaoka Shiki. Haiku usually combine three different lines, with a distinct grammatical break, called kireji, usually placed at the end of either the first five or second seven sound units. These two parts of a haiku are called the "phrase and the fragment" In Japanese, there are actual kireji words. In English, kireji is often replaced with commas, hyphens, elipses, or implied breaks in the haiku. These elements of the older haiku are considered by many to be essential to haiku as well, although they are not always included by modern writers of Japanese "free-form haiku" and of non-Japanese haiku. Japanese haiku are typically written as a single line, while English language haiku are traditionally separated into three lines. Example:

the first cold shower,
even the monkey seems to want,
a little coat of straw

Sippy or anyone, how do I make each line stand on its own?
Pressing 'return' does not cause a new line that is recognized upon posting, if you know what I mean...

I am not sure
but I'm checking it out
I am just pressing enter with my right pinky

did it work?
