Thanks Chris, Rich, Kat02, Tony and of coure, FoliageGold. shalom&salaam

I try to write a sonnet daily like Tony, but just running our of steam. I am more comfortable with haiku. But I promise to keep writing both. Peace to all, and JOY!

Thanks, I'm going to try it!  I'm still working on my first sonnet and Tony helped with instructions.  Not so easy.......  --Mary

Happy Labour Day, Neil.

Ironically there is a strike today by some colleagues in my government department, but I am in the office nonetheless, as are about half of the usual numbers. It's a long story. I wonder what will happen after Fidel fiddles off this mortal coil?

Good Morning Golden Foliage! Joy!to!You! Syllable count is 5,7,5 (lines1-3)

THat's all for a haiku. Now there are 2 types; nature based 3 liners (imitating the Zen Buddhist form) or modern, American ones called SEN[d]ryu that refer to human emotions, subjects and similes. These can get real deep and hard: avoid conjunctions, punctuation (but for ellipses) even repetition and rhyme. But the discipline is well worth it. shalomfromneil
