Today, and on every Tuesday while I feel like continuing the tradition, I shall write a haiku. I call this feature Haiku Tuesday, for it is Tuesday, and I am writing a haiku.

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that English speakers have modified slightly. English haiku generally have three lines. Lines one and three have five syllables each. Line two has seven syllables. The plural of haiku is haiku. Just go with it.

Today’s haiku theme is introduction:

Writing in the night
Before I send the flight plans
Crews go where I say

Now it’s your turn. Please write your own haiku about yourself and post it here.

Props to my friend Christine Milliner for reminding me of the joys of haiku.
