Today is Haiku Day in the 2011 WordCount Blogathon. Everyone participating is encouraged to write a haiku, the 17, syllable, three-line poem most people learned in grade school.
Here’s mine. I’m not sure how great it is, so I’m including a photo in case you can’t figure out what I’m writing about.
Backyard stranger lurks
sniffs chickens in the air
sees me and is gone.
I’ll link to some of my favorites from other writers and bloggers in this coming Saturday’s weekly blogathon round up.
Want to play along? Leave your comment in the form of a haiku!
Five seven five oh
Too much work to think about
Happy Birthday, ‘Shell
Thank you. My family knows I’m not a fan of nickname derivatives of “Michelle” so they tease me about them. They would rewrite the last line:
Good birthday Micky
Michelle
PS – And what are you doing up so early anyway?
Nice picture Michelle.
And the haiku’s good as well.
What’s next for WordCount?
A brief blogging reprieve
Then an ebook on basics
WordCount summer plans
What will I comment?
To the Haiku I am Hooked!
