We’re 24 days into the 2010 WordCount Blogathon and even the most enthusiastic participants are running out of gas.
If blogging every day isn’t something you normally do, especially if you’re doing it on top of full-time job, even the shortest post can seem like too much, what with the tagging, linking, tweeting, stumbling and digging that go with actually writing the dang thing.
Today is Group Blogging Day #2 of the blogathon and in recognition of how everybody’s feeling, we’ve kept the theme short and sweet – blog post haiku.
Haiku has made a comeback thanks to Twitter. If you haven’t written any since 3rd grade, here’s a quick refresher: Haiku is a poem encapsulating one thought in three lines of approximately 17 syllables broken down as follows: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.
Here’s my blog post haiku:
First sip of coffee
Recharges my batteries
Now the words will come.

You, me, Jackie–we’ve all done coffee. HA!
But I didn’t do coffee, Barb. I just used Michelle’s as a reference before I wrote mine about my drowning grass. I do need coffee in the AM, though. I’ve tried going without before. It’s pretty slugglish when that happens.
But here’s one on coffee:
Grinding the beans now
The sound scares my dog away
Coffee to myself
loved it!!! Made me want to go and get a cup of coffee to sip on while reading through the rest of the blogs!!
p.s.
Thanks for making all of this possible.
Somehow I didn’t get notified about the Haiku or favorite blog.
Here’s my poem: Blossoms on the grass
Dandelions and mushrooms
It’s spring, no more snow!
OK, I think my post on symbols is a well done post.
