My Weekend Haiku

Haiku (俳句, Haiku?) is a mode of Japanese poetry. The traditional haiku consisted of a pattern of 5, 7, 5 on. Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. It should register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. Some people meditate to create inspirational Haiku. Haiku is a very short poetic form. Traditional Japanese haiku consisted of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 units each, which are generally applied as syllables and contained a special word - the kigo - that indicated the season in which the haiku was set.

Every Monday, I'm gonna post a Haiku that sums up my weekend happenings. I figure this is a happy medium between getting to keep a journal, yet still maintain some privacy. Feel free to leave my comments in Haiku form.

FRIDAY
Dropped balls, sore losers
Saucy ribs meet grown convo
Anxious dreamers drift

SATURDAY
Food for thought sheds light
Mr Freeze done in thirty
Three alarms awake


SUNDAY
Brunch feeds, phone rings, him
Smile spreads, Beau begs potty break
Pats and Boys win
Will try to post more later.
