Haiku

This board is a composition workshop, like a writers' workshop: post your work with questions about style or vocabulary, comment on other people's work, post composition challenges on some topic or form, or just dazzle us with your inventive use of galliambics.

Haiku

Post by euripides »

First post.

I'm taking a seminar on the philosopher Martin Heidegger. This haiku was inspired by my slogging away at Being and Time.

? Αιδεγέ?ος
ἔγ?αψε κάκιον ἥ
οἵ μάλα νέοι

EDITED for accents/ spelling

hi, a small typo: if you wish to use κακίων as an adverb after ἔγ?αψε, the compar. adv is formed from the neut. sg. of the compar. adj., i.e. κάκιον.

for typing the accents see the keyboard help on this page: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~tayl0010/letters ... etpos2.htm

cheers :)
