Haiku and You
Haiku are short, lovely poems of usually just 17 syllables. Most of them have something to do with one of the four seasons. They originated in Japan, but they have migrated and seem to be quite a world-wide phenomena.
Have you ever tried you hand at writing one? I think of them as little snapshots of life, crystal clear and somewhat wistful. And you would be surprised at the skill it takes to create them! Not to scare you off; I think everyone, young and old should indulge in a little Haiku writing. It is amazing the beauty and joy that one can find in just a few short lines.
And if you want to keep to the seasonal motif, you can have quite a bit of fun. But where I live, there are not vast seasonal changes, so I would have to get around that somehow. Haiku for the Southeast?
