Haiku Moments

[crafty mike]

Funny... there is a guy that does that on another forum I post on too.

Yeah, I've seen a few figures where it's getting more popular. It really grew outside Japan after WWII. The mechanical part is easy (5-7-5), but there is really an art to making it work poetically. I don't quite get it. It's one of those graceful things where you might have it or you don't.

I'm on another forum where this guy only posts in haiku. No matter if he is starting a thread or replying. Quite the hoot.

Some guy speaks haiku?
On another talking board?
Must be a genius!

Making potholders
And matching washrags for church
Cotton is the best

Store-boughten washrags
Now made of synthetic thread
have no absorption

To make matters worse
Boiling can melt synthetics
Cotton takes high heat.

So I don't mind it
Each rag takes fifteen hours
Potholders, thirty.

It's worth all the time
Where sanitation has need
For healthy living.

We give God our best
So others' lives are improved
Clean as a whistle.
