Morgan, at the Booknvolume blog, is running a Daily Haiku Challenge, and I kind of love haiku, and I always love a good challenge as well. Believe it or not, Haiku can prove quite challenging.
The goal of haiku is to fit something filled with meaning into three short lines consisting of 17 syllables in total, it needs to invoke feeling, and make sense. This is how I’ve always thought of haiku.
Traditional Japanese haiku is, for lack of a better way to say it, simple complexity. I’ll likely never master it, but I do enjoy trying.
A recent walk around the neighborhood served up inspiration, and fortunately, I was able to capture it . . .
Nature thrives divine
despite effort made by man
to maintain control

Lovely and true. Dare I ask just what all those snails are doing all bunched together? Maybe we should leave it at “thriving” and hope they are not plotting the overthrow of the vertebrates.

They may indeed be planning something . . . I’ve never seen such a thing before! The fire hydrant has been dripping and those snails are taking full advantage of it!
