Stuff you learn when you homeschool your kids (that you probably should have learned in high school or college, but were too busy sleeping or pretending to take notes).
For the uninformed:
The 300 year old Haiku Poem has it’s own discipline. Each complete poem has only 3 lines totalling 17 syllables.
The first line must be 5 syllables. The second line must be 7 syllables. The 3rd line must be 5 syllables.
For Katie:
You are twenty one.
It’s a lovely age to be.
Let’s go to Vegas!!
Love,
Auntie M
21!! YAAAAYYY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSIN!”Izma! You didn’t tell me it was your birthday!” (Kronk – E.N.G.)
Tomorrow night, in honor of your birthday, I will put hot pink streaks in my hair and take copious pictures.
dangit…i wrote a whole long comment but then it wouldnt let me post. this is my second attempt…YEAAAAAH!!! i love my haiku!! im 21!!! whos down for vegas??? and whos buying me drinks, because that is totally the super special birthday (unspoken)rule…where you dont have to pay for anything! yeaaah.
i like the idea of pink streaks, and i like that picture of me…why dont i have that picture? but i should let you know that this month my hair is a dark purple…almost black even…but i think you should do it anyways and take pictures because then later you get to say copious.
p.s. i like that you explained what a haiku is for all space cadets. i love haikus and i love that you write me a new one every year!! i love you thank you for the blog.
p.p.s. im almost done with eragon and im totally into it!!
p.s. adam–i see a picture of you up top with a shaved head…never do that again, you look good with hair.
Katie -Those are all the things I love about you:
Unpredictable hair color. Brains. That we love books together. And that you’re so easy to write Haikus for. =D. Te quiero mucho!
Katie – already got the stuff. Jill’s coming over to do it tomorrow night. I’ll make sure we have a camera and take copious pics. ;-)BTW, when you finish Eragon, I have Eldest (the sequel) if you want to keep reading.
I’m down for Vegas! I’ll buy you drinks! When are we going out? Where are we going? WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!
