You Too Can Haiku
I’d like to introduce a new feature to the blog – the "You Too Can Haiku" contest. What’s the prize? Simply the satisfaction of having your haiku prowess acknowledged. How do you haiku? Follow the mantra of 5-7-5 – the first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables. So Taguchi, being Japanese, would probably insist the haiku have a seasonal reference and be about nature, but I am not so strict.
Today’s challenge: write a haiku about this photo. Leave it in a comment below. The winner will be announced tomorrow morning.
