Haiku Friday: So, watcha reading?
I love reading. From what I can tell, many of you are able to read, as well, and probably enjoy it. So let's haiku about books and reading and stuff like that!
Here is mine:
My buddy wrote this
Now I will read it, slowly,
It's a precious thing.
Now it is your turn! Make your haiku about 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables, and the winner gets a bio here on Monday.

My best students read.
Always. The best writers read.
With no exceptions.
Kids: The more they read,
The better writers they are.
With no exceptions.
The one thing I've learned
As a teacher of writing:
Good writers read.
It doesn't matter
What they read, either. Just read.
I'm certain of this.

Why read from a book
When you can see the movie
Or so they tell me
Then i figure out
Liberals own Hollywood
Want my money back

Distillation,a
Liqueur of words essential,
Mead.Pearls.Poetry.
Sit at Emily's
Elbow,as she carves away
Dead wood,grows orchids.
Or Hopkins sings his
Own ecstatic hymn in church
Alone,awe and woe twined.
Sandburg tries to reach
A rhyme describing Love,
Frost stories it out.
Roethke playing in
Soil visits Father's greehouse,
Digging in dirt,sky.

I can't begin to Haiku about what is on the bedside table. The new book about Jefferson (Meacham); Charters of Freedom: As I lay Dying (Faulkner); The Temple of My Familiar (Alice Walker); My Father's Name; Killing Mr. Watson (Mathiessen); The Mists of Avalon (Bradley); Kate Vaiden (Reynolds Price).. and so the list goes....
On the Kindle: midway through Fear of Flying; Tropic of Cancer; Pride and Prejudice; The Prague Cemetary; just to name a few....
