Yea, I know I’m giving up my secret here, but I am putting together a cache puzzle that involves haiku. I have a few verses written. Anyone want to contribute a verse or two for the cache page? Here’s one to get us started…
Over the river
And through the woods, here we go
To the cache we go!
Caching is easy!
Is that a D5/T5?
Nope, not so easy…

Google states “Haiku” is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku typically have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.
Having said that, I have come across numerous haiku that vary from this formula. With many haiku that I have read, the first line and the third line can be switched around and still have the same meaning. The beginning points to the end and the end points to the beginning.
Here I am again
Finding caches in the woods
I love the outdoors
Something my son wrote a few years ago:
Haiku often resemble painting more than writing. It seeks not to tell a tale of experience, but to lead us into one. I remember once taking a hike through the Columbia Gorge on a beautiful summer day. Moss covered the trees to the left and a chorus of birds mingled with the rustling creek below. The only two clouds in the sky sat across the creek on opposing sides of Mount Hood, as if balancing its pointy tip. I stood silently, fully engaged in my surroundings and as my friend came to my side to see what I was seeing, I said, “this is haiku.” He responded, “ok, let’s hear it,” and I said, “no,” holding out my hands and spinning in a circle, “this is haiku,” and after pausing for a moment, I continued, “you just have to find it.”
Ah yes, thank you for explaining. Here’s one from the amazing cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender…

I want to play, too
This is kind of fun for me
Haiku creation
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Well….considering the fact that I will soon be moving, I won’t be making this cache after all. But haikus are still fun. 😉
