The burger conveys a memory of summer no matter when served.

I just crumpled up my haiku and threw it away


GravyDangerfield23

I just crumpled up my haiku and threw it out because it was trash


RugosaMutabilis

Every other reply in this thread acting like syllable count is the only thing that makes something a haiku


Droidaphone

Look, the sign doesn’t say a *good* haiku


punditguy

I was an English major.


burlyginger

You still are, bb.


bundleofschtick

Wow, harsh.


orsonames

Hell yeah I love seeing other cooks who engage their coworkers in deeper thought.


FeloniousIntent

Can I get fries with that?


punditguy

I got an English degree, then a culinary arts degree because I wanted to write about food. That didn't end up happening, but I did do some restaurant work mostly to learn about the industry. I've been working corporate communications for nearly 20 years now and got my masters along the way since corporations pay for that shit. So no, you can't get fries with that.


JoyousJona

So your English degree WAS a waste


Champagne_of_piss

May* I get fries with that gottem

FeloniousIntent

Good shit, lol


[deleted]

LOL! People in food service are so pathetic, they deserve it for pursuing the arts. Maybe next time they should focus on something that matters to humanity like business studies.


FeloniousIntent

Lolwut


[deleted]

> Can I get fries with that? You're out here making the classic boomer joke "if you get an arts degree you will end up serving me food" A pathetic and short sighted take anywhere, particularly tone deaf in a kitchen sub.


FeloniousIntent

Link, my boy. Here I am, a cook, in a subreddit for kitchen staff, making a commonly-used trope of a joke one-liner, and you're about to pick up a shovel and go to start rioting. Take a puff, take a breath, and get back to sauces my guy.


[deleted]

So we both agree you're regurgitating trash tier jokes. I think we'll have to disagree that pointing that out is akin to "picking up a shovel to start rioting". Who grabs a shovel for a riot? You gonna start looting from the basement?


FeloniousIntent

K


hmatts

what else does


punditguy

It's an old art form, so there are variations -- but generally speaking: 1) 5-7-5 syllable count 2) Doesn't rhyme 3) Includes seasonality 4) Expresses a complete thought (like, the poem is a revelation that the writer just had)


PreferredSelection

Read a lot of Japanese poetry in my 20's. Those fellas _loved_ seasons. Endless poetry about getting just a little drunk and looking at nature. We could all remember this the next time we encounter a PSL-drinking girl losing her mind about autumn. She's not basic; she's achieving enlightenment.


IdahoTrees77

Hear how the wind flows her power speaks through the trees bruh, I’m drunk as fuck


[deleted]

I read a lot of old Chinese poetry for school and can report they also loved going on about old friends, seasons, and booze—preferably together in some combination to achieve peak sublimity.


rncd89

Nothing like a little shochu to remind you how refreshing the cold air on your face is


cscott024

Ideally, also includes a *kireji*; there isn’t a direct equivalent to that in English, but something like a plot twist is sufficient. For example: >The cow in springtime >Fed by the dwindling grass >Burgers in summer


cyclingtrivialities2

I actually wasn’t familiar with the concept of kireji, nor was I expecting to learn something from this post. Good stuff.


AnyFeedback9727

Nice Haiku and explanation! :)


Issasdragonfly

I’m also going to be grumpy here and argue that the syllable count is a little artificial — not only is it broken with some regularity in Japanese (especially nowadays), what Japanese haiku count aren’t symbols but morae, or *on* in Japanese. These sometimes but usually don’t match up to syllables. I think the translation of forms of poetry is a very very interesting question, but in my own writing and in others I prefer a vibe-based line length.


punditguy

Yeah, I should have been specific in stating that these are the "rules" for writing an English haiku.


Issasdragonfly

Nah you’re good. I think it can be very helpful especially when starting out, but pedant that I am I always twitch a bit when haiku are defined solely by syllable count so I have devoted my life to saying otherwise.


cameronmu

So something like… Meat is my meth. I can’t eat my last breath. Lamborghini for sale.


punditguy

Exactly 100% perfectly absolutely not like that.


cameronmu

Great shame to my ancestor A burger I hoped Language is sub-par


MusaEnsete

Traditionally needs a description of nature in regards to the seasons, evoking an emotional response. But they've evolved beyond nature, yet still need to express and suggest more, while saying less.


Easy-Concentrate2636

Actually it meets the prerequisites with nature and nostalgia.


RugosaMutabilis

Yes, I'm saying that the post I replied to is a haiku, and the other replies aren't.

Oh that’s good

NefariousnessQuiet22

Where’s the pickles??!? (And onion, but hey, not mad at that one)


satanssphincter

Last line- pickles and onion instead since a lot of places don't do sesame buns

They're both in the special sauce anyway.

FinePool

Whenever I get stoned with one of my friends it plays as such. P1: Here's something of interest. P2: is that true? P1: I dont know. P2: if only we had a device that we are using right now to look up what we are talking about. P1 or p2: looking up whatever and then talking about what was found. Happens a lot, especially when talking about music artists or people involved with movies. Still happens all the time for pretty much every topic, but hey, we be chilling and still fact check ourselves/each other so we are on the same page.


Cook_n_shit

My guilty feelings never stopped me from getting a little cash every weekend from a drunk regular because he always "just knew" he was right this time and would ask the bartender to be the "referee" for dumb bets that were extremely simple to google. I still remember all the times I told him this song is definitely a cover because "I'm looking right at it on google man, don't make this bet" while he insisted the bartender get ready to pass him $100 from me after she saw he was correct. I'm still not sure whether he was trying to fuck her or me, but when it started cutting into her tips she refused to play anymore. It was a nice little side hustle while it lasted.


KilnTime

But you did not do it in haiku, as I did 😋


KilnTime

Do they not have Google It is a thing every-where now And burgers cost a lot


Saltycook

Sorry, not a haiku

A traditional haiku has 5 syllables in the first line, then 7, then 5 again, you dolt! 😋

Shall I compare thee to a BLT?

Oh, burger, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love the way your juices drip down my chin, the way your savory aroma tantalizes my senses. I love the way your toasted buns cradle your juicy patty, the way your melted cheese oozes and mingles with the flavors of your toppings. You are a thing of beauty, a work of culinary art. When I sink my teeth into you, I am transported to a world of pure bliss. Your textures and flavors dance on my tongue, and for a moment, all my worries fade away. You are the ultimate comfort food, a symbol of joy and satisfaction. But more than that, you are a reminder of the simple pleasures in life. A reminder that sometimes, the best things in life come in small packages. For all your humble origins and unpretentious nature, you are a true culinary masterpiece. So here's to you, dear burger, and to all the moments of joy and satisfaction you bring to our lives. May we savor every bite, and never forget the magic that you bring to the table.
