Weekend Haiku Challenge

Haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry, consisting of three lines with a syllable count of 5/7/5. Here is one example from poet Himani:
Flowers are blooming
Bursts of colors come alive
Fragrant smells around us!

Now for the challenge: Choose a familiar or random subject. Compose one or more haiku and post to the blog by Monday morning. Blog readers will vote for best entry. Poems will be judged for clarity, humor, and presentation of universal truth. The winner will receive a lifetime subscription to Today with J P Ronan.
