17th April – HAIKUISATION

[spacedlaw]

Rules:
“The haiku is a Japanese poetic form whose most obvious feature is the division of its 17 syllables into lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables. Haikuisation has sometimes been used by Oulipians to indicate the reduction of verses of normal length to lines of haiku-like brevity. Select three sentences from a single newspaper article and ‘haiku’ them.”

Quite a challenge considering how syllable-rich are Italian words.
Since the rules are ambiguous (should each sentence become a line of the haiku or becoming each a whole one?) I have played both terms of the equation. In addition to the format, a haiku is also supposed to have a seasonal element as well, so I went looking for article with some of this specific item in them - with mixed results (second and third articles).
