Haiku—What's That?

In case you need to brush up on your haiku skills, here's a refresher from Miriam-Webster online:


An unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines containing usually five, seven, and five syllables respectively.

Sample Haiku

gazpacho owes you
soup, sauce and salted slices
tomatoes, you rule
    -E. Hollingsworth

you grow from the ground
or while hanging upsidedown
tomatoes, hooray!
     -D. Defranza
