Yes, but I handwrote in japanese first. so when translated to english it doesn't come out that way.
一桜 ここから疎外 生き残る
I don't think haikus are so strict on that format either way. It also sounds horrible and stupid in english. The whole point of me making this post was because I remember when they first taught us haikus way back when I was in elementary school and remembering how stupid they were. the reason is because they are japanese poems and don't translate well to english. half of the poem is the calligraphy involved in forming the kanji that represents each word so the poems are pretty much pointless in english. that was my point. i don't know why i felt compelled to make a post about it though.

Cool haiku 
I love Japanese. I wish I could learn it. I did know all the katakana and hiragana and a few kanji, but I've long forgotten them

You should look into translating Kanji into traditional Chinese and writing Haiku like that. Having every Chinese character only representing 1 syllable makes for some cool possibilities, too.

I'm sure if you started reading it again or watching movies you'd pick it right back up. Hiragana and katakana are like the easiest written languages. It's the kanji that is tricky.

Yeah, you're probably right. I need to find a good anime to watch. That was the source of all my learning back then. I was immersed in anime and J-pop 
And yeah, I always thought hiragana and katakana were easy to read and write. At first you think characters all look the same but once you learn them it's so easy to tell what is what. Kanji is so complicated to me. I like the easy ones like yama and..well..yama is all I can think of right now

There is methods to memorizing Kanji that would definitely benifit you. Mandarin is my second language, I've studied it for 6 years now and lived in Taipei for a few months. You should look into the radical system, it will probably help you make better sense of Kanji.

Thank you! I actually have a Kanji book and it has a radical index. It is definitely a huge help, but I just never devoted a lot of time to studying it. Had I done that, I probably would have learned some eventually.
Just out of curiosity, are you Asian? If not, what made you choose to learn Mandarin?

I'm not Asian, I've just always been interested in language and found most languages to be simple memorization, meaning I didn't really have any fun learning them. One day I just decided to start taking Chinese classes, and fell into a routine pretty quickly. Living in Taipei was definitely beneficial though, because it was fairly early on in my learning and it exposed me to the whole culture aspect of learning the language.

That's pretty cool. I know what you mean about memorization. But I feel like there's only so much you can learn that way. I think living in another country where you're forced to learn the language really helps alot. I would love to learn several Asian languages. I want to learn Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, and Thai. But I know I'll probably never learn them all If I had to choose one though, it would be Japanese.
Do you know any other languages besides those?

I was essentially forced to learn to read/write in Hebrew as a child, but I readily abandoned that at 13 when I decided against having a Bar-Mitzvah, I felt absolutely no connection to the religion but 
I can't speak or understand it though.

Learning Japanese is really easy cause I too learned hebrew as a kid. I continued to learn it though well in to highschool as I ended up going to a jewish highschool for a few years. I could speak it a basic conversational level for quite some time but then lost it all. I can still read it but won't know most of what I'm reading. I recognize lots of the roots though so I can piece stuff together.
I was trying to learn german as well but I haven't been able to keep it up. I'd like to get back in the daily practice of learning a little bit more of it each day again cause it's a really fun language to speak.
Kanji is hard as hell to learn and I've been mostly avoiding it. I can't really read much at all in kanji and get most of the ones I know mixed up. I'm not used to languages where a whole word or meaning can be represented by one character.
