There are a ton of people writing Haiku in Bloggerland these days. Most of them (me included) are doing it as a goof, and adhere to no rule other than the 5|7|5 structure. Heather, on the other hand, has been posting daily real haiku on harrumph! – which I always make time to read. Today’s was particularly excellent, so I thought I’d share for those of you who haven’t seen it:
Year after year
on the monkey’s face
a monkey face.
– Matsuo Basho, The Essential Haiku
I love Heather.
