nature haiku
I wrote this haiku in a poetry workshop I took last year:
creek cascades down,
pooling and overflowing—
endless beginnings

So many places to see
Hard to pick just one
Had a friend I worked with for 10 years. We communicated sometimes in Haiku. Nice one though.

Re: nature haiku
if you want more syllables to work with, look up Tanka.. otherwise, the cadence is 5, 7, 5. Heck, all mgmt slides should be just that.
