marron, travail = pour fermiers
chomage = pour Ernest

Ernest sur la toile: Fermiers aux habits marrons, Quid de l'Iowa? Edit: my 400th post is this haiku for Ernest. If anybody had told me this... I would have said that haiku are for poets.

Brillant Alchem. Though my command of French grammar & syntax is terrible & my memory of the vocabulary non-existant, please accept this humble haiku. Bracketed word reflects ignorance of French word. Feel free to post revision. I have no idea whether it it's permissible to have internal rhyme in haiku structure, but I really like it.


C'est bon chanson
pour mon [hero] Ernie Paris
et Iowa fille.

You know in haiku there is little grammar or syntax: you stack up words.

The main probleme in your haiku is that you'll need to had some words for proper syntax and that will hurt your word count. Let's give it a try:
