Marian likely remembers them well.For the uninitiated: a haiku is a non-rhyming poem with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third -- totaling 17 syllables in all. An example:A feeble haikuIs all I can offer youFor Wedge I am notOther than the typical forum rules, you need only follow two others:1. All posts following this introductory one must follow haiku format. (You can include multiple haikus in a single post.)2. All haikus must fall within the topical bounds of the General Discussion forum (i.e., John Williams, film music, movies, music)To kick things off...Oh, Maestro JohnnyHave you lost your old magic?Or have movies changed?Those masterful themesThose set pieces that thrill'd us--A bygone era.
