NO, no, I'm just joking with you. But now that you mention it...the syllable count is wrong and so is the style for it to be haiku...or even senryu.

Gosh...I just showed some geekiness... :oops:

yup that's what i caught too.. lol geeks unite! anyways i don't think perhaps daniel knows that much about haikus, but i don't think that tachy would have made a mistake like that... seems very unlike her....

Definately loving Kas =P


Wouldn't that be a twist though..Daniel figures out the clues and it leads him to one thing:

lol okay...

this is an example of a haiku:

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

notice the syllables are in the order of 5-7-5

but tachy's 'haiku' was different:

Where it all started
the answer is before you
a subtle clue I Drew

which has a 5-7-6 syllable ending. which is weird. and un-haiku-like.

it could mean something or could totally not. idk. i catch weird things.

Maybe Daniel just didn't know the difference...but knowing Tach, it could be a clue.

Also, haiku is generally about nature..etc...and in present tense. '

Winter

Crisp winds blow gently
Icy strands entwine as lace
Hills are white canvas


Senryu is a similar poetry form that emphasizes humor and human foibles instead of seasons


I...shut up now...


Yeah...Dan probably didn't know the difference...

daniel should have shown us the books he should know that the puzzle can be answered within hours if we all know what it is, but he probably wants to do it himself to impress Bree and it could be from the Order, I mean they would watch the Tachyon videos too so they know about nancy drew, it would have been smart of them to give Daniel a trigger that would make him act a certain way
