What is a haiku?
As you may know, Haiku has been used for centuries to illustrate a single poignant moment or thought experienced by a traveler and is characterized by three lines of poetry with 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. Haiku can be humorous, and often features a description of a single sound, moment, or emotion.
Nine months waiting done
Carrying you in our hearts.
Welcome to the world.

Mighty baby kick!
Liz suspects Kevin snuck in
Tiny soccer cleats

A Conversation With Baby, a 3-haiku suite
"Nine months lived as one
With you, have taught me precious
Things about us, and
I look forward to
Learning more of the wisdom
You bring our family;
Today you say you're
Impatient to become two;
Let's go tell Daddy!"
-- Dennis Hass
A pregnant glow is
Compensation for all the
Slowly inflating
-- Chris
God ordained foursome
Tag-team red heads call in turn
Come help happy Kevin!

Praise to King Jesus
For His wonderful blessing
To Kevin and Liz!
