Would I dare consider Middle-English Haiku? Of course I would! The above was a result of reading through parts of "The Wife of Bath's Prologue" from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. If you want to get into it, look at this site from Harvard: The Geoffrey Chaucer Page.
Wow, Medieval English language is like a foreign language! I forgot how much focus it takes to read it (it's been since junior high or high school!?).
Don't look for a section on Middle-English Haiku on this site anytime soon.
This is strange. Building a good vocabulary is one thing... but wondering why the "creators" of Word of the Day keep coming up with archaic terms and words one is quite unlikely to ever use.
