Well done :D I like your second one in particular.<br /><br />Vanessa - feel free to share your attempts with us here :)<br /><br />Helle - your first haiku made me laugh, very nicely done :D<br /><br />Greg - I'm glad you liked the second one so much! I think your second one is pretty fantastic as well :)<br /><br />Sheshe - thanks :) I like yours as well.<br /><br />Summerfield - re: your first: sounds good to me! Re: your second: kick its butt for all of us :)<br /><br />Heather - ah, definitely a resigned motivation in your first one. And no, the second one wasn't motivating, but I liked it anyway :)Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952331166517430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-34043917956185954512011-01-12T20:20:29.473-08:002011-01-12T20:20:29.473-08:00It's been a long while since haiku and I met. ...It's been a long while since haiku and I met.

I'm sure they do cause sunburn! I like the more meditative tone of your second haiku too.<br /><br />@Marc: Malta was for work, and I'm delighted to be able to say that I'm back now and will be re-united with my dog when the dog-sitters bring her over :)<br />It sounds like you've had a very productive day; you know, if you dig all the snow off the yard you can pretend Spring's starting early... ;-)<br />I really like your second haiku. Really, really like it. Your first one is more thoughtful but also more demanding. I'm in two minds about it (which is not saying it's bad).<br /><br /><b>Motivation</b><br />When Spring comes at last<br />The lengthening day inspires<br />And I stir myself.<br /><br />-----<br /><br />Shouting does not help.<br />If you want me to work out,<br />Cake motivates me.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-58070132078481475822011-01-12T08:01:54.922-08:002011-01-12T08:01:54.922-08:00Long-haired surfer boys
