Day 12

I've decided to quit my 30 day Haiku expedition. 30 days is a darn long time and I think after 10 I'm pretty well versed in the ways of the haiku. Plus, trying to fit one cognitive idea into the confines of 3 lines and 17 sylables is really quite daunting and restrictive, let alone the constant counting of the 5 7 5 pattern which really doesn't allow for the creative juices to flow naturally.

THEREFOR...

It is time to quit
This magical haiku trip
I'm finished with it


And so it ends. I do think, though, that this adventure will allow me more than ever to utilize this prose in the future. It has a stark, blatent, and clear feel to it which I like.
Join me next time.
