I’ve never been able to figure out what a haiku is…well, I know what it is…but I could never write one. I’m not even sure I would recognize it if I read it…other than it is an odd sounding poem. LOL

Poignant man. I really like that.

Sober time used well
Take a breath, learn from others
Pure inspiration.

Dunno. First attempt above. Heard of them before but never took the time to find out how they were constructed.

Haiku (or hokku) A Japanese verse form most often composed, in English versions, of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. A haiku often features an image, or a pair of images, meant to depict the essence of a specific moment in time.
