    I’m not sure how
    to write a haiku
    but I hope that
    if I did
    you would like it

    I started playing with haiku at http://kenwagner.name.

    Not only is it fun, but haiku can sharpen what you see and how you write.

    I had a writing teacher suggest haikus when stuck in a writer’s block. Here’s my favorite one:

    at their own leisurely pace
    why can’t I crochet?

    I think there’s an implied opportunity to take what these exercises/practices/works teach and apply the lessons to our micro-sharing in Twitter.

    Topical news haikus, anyone?

    ===
    Last days of Prez race,
    All talkin’ like Joe Six-Pack,
    One surplus: dropped ‘g’s.

    ===
    Bailouts in fashion,
    Regs target highly paid folks.
    Pay caps for strippers?

    ===
    Guilty ’cause of friends?
    Palling ’round with terrorists?
    Yep. It’s Halloween.

    As seen on a tshirt:

    Haiku’s are easy
    But sometimes they don’t make sense

    wow all these comments, I am surprised.

    The real haiku you will see next Sunday, still it is interesting to see what occurs when there is a tech hitch.

    thanks for everyone pitchin in
