>Question 1: Does anyone know the breakdown of a haiku? I think it's 5
>syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables - but I'm not sure.
Seventeen syllables written in three lines divided into 5-7-5
is the usual breakdown of haiku poetry however there are
many other versions of the rule that are generally accepted.
>Questions 2: There's this song - it features in Patriot Games. It's
>playing from the TV when the IRA hitman gets murdered in his cottage.
>Very "Enya-ish" if you know what I mean. I THINK it's called "Song for
>the Dead". Can anyone confirm or correct this?
I think that the song that you were after was called
"It's all a bunch of tree hugging yuppie crap"
also by Enya :)
Sorry Doc, but Enya is really an alternate
supply of anesthetic as far as I'm concerned.
Seriously though I couldn't say for sure what your
song was in patriot games, it's been sooo long.
