HAIKU HAPPINESS

I am officially haiku-ofied. I have been writing my haiku book everyday for a month, and loving it. I am thinking, speaking and definitely writing in 17-syllable count spurts. (My husband and kids seem to truly appreciate my new love for brevity.)

OK, back to writing.....

BTW, want to learn more about Haiku? Check out my Poetry in the Classroom/Haiku post.
