Haiku - for you

writing a haiku
in the library's back room --
purple mint flowers

~ Rick Black

This is the haiku that Rick wrote about our workshop. Nice, n'est-ce pas?
Like he told us, haiku is just 3 short lines and may conjure up a time and a place. What a nice way to keep a memory!
I am haiku-ing (probably not a real word) everything! Remember, this is my favorite part, it does not need to have certain number of syllables per line!

Here are some websites Rick thought we might enjoy. Check them out and continue to write - it's really fun! Please share any you write that you especially love and we will print them in Expresso.

Enjoy the last days of summer vacation...and stop by for your summer reading books if you haven't already!
