Good haiku, cat. That reminds me, I wrote an Iditarod haiku for a poetry writing class I teach. One of the things I say to my students is that they should write poetry about whatever inspires them personally. To demonstrate, each week I share a poem I've written about sled dog racing. Here's my haiku:
Ribbons of green light
The best sunrise in the world
Decorate the trail.
And here is a cinquain. A cinquain is a five-line poem with a prescribed number of syllables: 2,4,6,8,2. It's similar to a haiku, but not as well known:
Huskies
Born for running
A thousand snowy miles
The musher is only the coach
Sled dogs.
I'm working on a song. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get it recorded and uploaded. Stay tuned.
