[stylist] Haiku mania

Mon Oct 24 11:26:32 UTC 2011

Hi Jackie,
I wrote this after we had learned about Haiku in English class. Before that, I read a short story. I forget what it was called. It was in the old west. Someone was wounded. He was running from the law. Buzzards were waiting for him to die. They were circling overhead. The story was talking about how the buzzards would eat the flesh off his bones.

Jim,
This leaves a lot of room for imagination. Did you have a science dealing
with bird bones, or did the buzzard attack a child. I did not know that
buzzards picked clean little dead birds.
I like these poems that are a bit of a mystery about what triggered them.

Hi,
Here's one I wrote in eighth grade.

Ten, twenty, thirty;
Thirty little clean, white bones
Picked clean by buzzards.

Barbara,

Yep. I exposed my inability to count prior to my fifth cup of coffee.
But? I've got a fresh cup at my side and so...

Now for my Haiku Hiatus :).
