I was teaching poetry to some of my students and today we talked about Japanese Haiku poetry. While traditionally about nature, modern haikus can be about anything. So, I thought, let’s make some Spyderco haikus.
Haikus have a pattern of 3 lines, 5-7-5.
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables
Ok. I’ll start.
My grey Spyderco
It is exceedingly sharp
It cuts my sandwich

Behold Waterway
You were but a harbinger,
Sirens soon shall sing.

For my spydercos
Here is a little haiku
You are all quite nice
I dont like haikus
They rarely serve a purpose
Poems are better.

Home is not my home.
I do not understand why.
Happiness receeds.
Shiny blade in hand.
Sadness begins it's retreat.
Will happiness come?

I don't know, I'm in the middle of a remodel!
Picture a guy standing in the middle of a half finished house, disheveled, blank stare, clutching a knife and muttering to himself. Heh, that's me the past few weeks!
