These are really not great - but I wanted to save these from my old blog that is closing down. Here are all my old haikus...probably nothing great - but hey - I wrote them. So why not save them. They were written primarily between May and July 2008 when I was trying to write a haiku a day. I got thirty - so if you do the math, you will see...well, please do not do the math. In retrospect - some of these are not bad...emphasis on "not bad."
Now that I am more interested in fiction writing, I want to make sure that I save these. You be the judge...enjoy!
