Blogathon2010: Haiku

Posting everyday can be a challenge. There’s the time commitment, sure, but even more than that, there’s the pressure to stay fresh, interesting and relevant on a daily basis. So today’s Blogathon challenge is short and sweet: Write a haiku.

Don’t remember haikus? Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, a word picture expressed in 17 syllables: 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second and 5 for the third. Some great stuff has been posted today, so I highly encourage you to visit a couple other Blogathoners.

Here’s mine:

Bouncing on the couch
Boundless energy in jeans
Men yet to be born

See? It’s easy! Give it a try — I’d love to see your haikus.

  1. LOVe haiku.

    We do it while we’re waiting in line somewhere. I’ll throw out a topic, and the boys will haiku back.

    There’s are always better than mine! They’re so much fun for kids to do…

    Thank you for bringing this to the attention of others.
