Haiku Friday: California
As an adult, I have lived in two states, Texas and Minnesota, that have strong, iconic identities. Most people have some defined images in mind when they think of those places.
But perhaps the most iconic state of them all-- especially for people from other countries-- is California. Freeways, beaches, movies, people pooping on the sidewalk in San Francisco... there are a complicated and fascinating group of ideas, images, and legends that we associate with that state. And I know at least a few followers of the blog are from there.
So, let's haiku about California this week! Here, I will go first:
Atop Eagle Rock
We could see it all: highways, smog,
Mountains, ocean, life.
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!
