The exercise:

Write two haiku about: appreciation.

Well, I appreciate your blog and your replies to comments :) I remember reading somewhere about keeping a gratitude-journal where you write down things you're grateful for each day. I'd try it, but my lawyer says that I shouldn't create incriminating evidence, and the police don't need any help to do their jobs.

Appreciation
To all who helped me
Help myself: thank-you. I'll take
All you have left now.

No words can express
"Kindnesses" like yours. You are
Selfish till the end.

[I think these are two sides of a conversation actually, but I didn't want to hide the acrostic by separating them with a line.]

Greg - I've heard about that as well. Your reasons for not doing so made me smile. Maybe even laugh a little :)

These do go very nicely together, but I'm still going to say that I like the first one best.
