Haiku

Post by Biff »

Write one or post one... these are always fun.

Don't know what Haiku is?

A haiku MUST consist of three lines of five, seven, and five syllables. For example:

Morning light appears (five syllables)
The new day has awoken (seven syllables)
Nature stirs and sighs (five syllables)

Cool. You can also check out these if you feel like trying your hand at it.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Up your soul
