5 - 7 - 5
Welcome to the haiku club
Haiku are a form of Japanese poetry that are written in three lines with a syllable count of five, seven, five. But don't let that stop you writing whatever you like. There are no fascists here and any contribution you wish to make is welcome. Here we seek the sublime, and if we can't have that, we'll just have a laugh. It's all good.
With the current picture as your inspiration, pile in to the comments and have a go. At the end of the week I pick five and put them on the front page.
As the Japanese say - Let's enjoyment haiku!
selfishness.......selflessness
Everything here is an expression of this continuum. Otherwise, the only certainty is change.

Sorry FB, I haven't done your picture yet. It is somewhat daunting. In the meantime I thought we'd have a change of pace.

In case anybody's wondering about the first comment, I submitted a double page spread picture scanned from a book and asked Nobby if he could perform some photo magic on the gutter (centrefold).
