On Friday, as on most other weekdays, I was riding the 7:10 limousine to work. Wedged between a navy blue suit and a black trench coat, I rolled my shoulders to find a little extra room. Somehow, while doing so, I was slapped with a nostril full of perfume and thus involuntarily sneezed (Which turns out to be a great way to get a little extra elbow room).
Immediately after my passage clearing, the lady across from me said "Haiku". The customary response is 'bless you', though I could swear she said 'Haiku'...
So now a little on Haiku. In yesterdays post, towards the end of the second McClure video, Michael recalls asking Philip Whalen about the makings of Haiku verse. To which Whalen responds "Perception, ellipsis, Perception". I like that response. Though there seem to be many different definitions of Haiku out there. (wiki)
At any rate, the 2011 Haiku Invitational is now in full swing.
No excuses. Express yourself. Get creative.
