Comment:
This requires a bit of explaining. My co-workers and I have mix CD competitions periodically. The most recent competition required that people compile a collection of covers. I took it one step further. I limited myself to one song per covering and covered artist and then decided to use only song titles that would construct syllabically and pragmatically valid haiku, which further limited me to covers which had either 5 or 7 syllables in the title and required me to find twice as many titles with 5 syllables as 7 and THEN construct the haiku based on both poetic and musical flow. This is the result. Comments?Feedback:
um. wow. very impressive.
nice work Kirby! now lose some weight, dump the girlfriend and apologize to the fans of Minnesota!
wow part of me respects this, especially since youve got soem nice songs on here and part of me thinks you have too much free time.
that's INSANE. in a good way. wow. i would never have the patience.
eee that's a great idea. most great art takes place within resrictions. this don't look to be no exception. the breadth of artists is enjoyable. as well.
