A haiku for Obama


Nobody has to be Shakespeare to write a haiku. The rules are simple. A haiku (says Wikipedia) should have three lines: one with five syllables, followed by one with seven syllables, then another with five. A classic haiku should make some reference to kigo, meaning the weather, but often stretched to anything natural, mountains, a river, trees, clouds or whatever. People quarrel over the exact form, but those are the basics for those of us who want to have fun but don't speak Japanese

 

November. Sunrise.

The geese fly north. Hungry V

So grand. North?  I blink.


So give it a shot. Lets have some.
