I remember there was a discussion about whether or not {.i}
is needed in lyrics/poems, but I don't remember the outcome.
mi pu finti di'e
mi filfi'i dei
.i ku'i narjmi fi dei

It's inspired by my favorite english haiku:
Haikus are easy.
But sometimes they don't make sense.

Felt as though I should try writing a few, probably messed something up seeing as this is pretty much my first Lojban ever, but whatever.

I had forgotten that you only need the pauses before and after for cmene.
Also I decided to write another because this is a fun/good way to learn/practice some Lojban.

So, this week's APE is to write a haiku in Lojban.
Haiku are normally about nature, but all we're going to care about is that it's in three lines; a line of 5 syllables, a line of 7 syllables, and a final line of 5 syllables.
Lojban seems to me to be a language especially suited to haiku, so I imagine this APE will be especially fun one.
I made the effort of making both the English translation and the Lojban be haiku, but the rest of you don't have to if the English is difficult to fit into haiku:

I don't know how to quote people, so...
From what I can tell {narfrili xanri} is something closer to what I meant, so thank you for that.

The concept of writing

is difficult to imagineOkay, first, I literally laughed when I read this one.A note though: fu'inai is an attitudinal, which means you have that attitude about whatever it is attaching to. So, you're not saying that it's difficult to imagine, but rather that you specifically have a difficult attitude towards imagining it. This is difficult to explain since we don't have an equivalent word in English.Okay, so I'll try with one we do have a word for: {do gleki.iu} is "You're happy [Happiness!]", or more long winded, "You're happy [<-- I'm happy about this]".

This may or may not be true with other mailers as well.

All right, thank you again.
Also; another haiku.

"difficult to imagine" is one assertion
The other one is first asserting that it is being imagined, and then also saying you feeling that the imagining is difficult.
what exactly is the difference between difficult to imagine and the imagining being difficult?

They merely express the attitude of the speaker. This is why they are called "attitudinals". Their purpose is to easily convey the current emotional mindset of the speaker.
