the sermon drags on i watch the littlies play tag among the grave stones This image has been in my mind since I attended my uncle's funeral several years ago. I am not in the best of moods this morning (for reasons I may write about later), and this Haiku popped into my mind this morning. Do you ever write Haiku? Sometimes much can be said in few words.

I hope you were deeply moved by what I wrote. A lot can be expressed in a few words.

I’ve written haiku many times, but not recently. I hope your mood improves.

I guess it could be a good teaching tool because it's "easy." Yet it has "rules."
