Silly Haiku – bones and the bones of how it all works

Dem bones dem silly bones

And one more for good measure:

Some left over bones
Swimming in my big stock pot
Good soup for dinner.

I spent my lunch hour in the food court writing haiku for the silliness class. This week’s theme was “bones” – did you guess that? I also used my phone to take photos of a couple of worksheets, edit them a bit and upload them to the group flickr site. That is enough to give any reasonable person pause: how miraculous is it, to be able to take photos with a phone, good photos, use the phone to crop and adjust the exposure, upload them via a phone data connection to a web site so other people all over the world can see them… Amazing.

I did think about how we spend our time. While others might have wondered what I was counting on my fingers in between writing things down (syllables), I couldn’t help but throw a few thoughts on how much one could write during 30-40 minutes if you did it with some dedication. Four haikus are better than nothing at all!

OK I already knew this – it’s that whole perseverance-persistence thing. You can get a whole lot done if you just keep going at it. Nothing gets done if you don’t do something. Got it. And with that I’m going upstairs to sew some more horizontal rows together. I think I am three rows away from the mid-point, and then things will get a little more complicated.
