Haiku
I entered a poetry contest yesterday and did not win -- but of course in the case of this contest what you really "win" is an invitation to buy the poetry book.
The contest rules: write a haiku about the picture.
A Haiku is a three verse poem with the first and last verses having only five syllables, and the middle verse having three (5-7-5).
Amber waves of grain call to your wandering heart, come home on the range.

I have studied haiku for about six years now....and I still find it hard to write. Sometimes i have a winner but more often than not, they could be improved. People who write haiku all the time make it a life's work.......I just did it for a little fun. haha

I am having a flashback to eigth grade when I wrote a Haiku and was docked a grade because I used the word orange thinking it was one syllable. I could tell the teacher hated to do it and I will always remember it!
Nice story about the kitty pretending to be a lion with the sheets.
The only thing that helps me with chafing is wearing tight leggings....keep going!
And you wrote about nature. I like them both: simple yet with varied levels of meaning. I think the baffalo one is clever, too.
