Seventeen syllables of happiness.

Cheap laughs.

We all have simple ways — finding simple ways to amuse ourselves and others. Sure, there's the commonplace jocularity that happens generally around coffee and water depots, but I'd like to shed some light on another type of exercise all together, one that we at SGDP embrace with a true and unique sense of creativity and (at times) genius. Yes, it's the haiku!

Try it!

Pick a subject, and do your best. Truthfully, there's no easier style of poetry I know of. 5-7-5 is sort of scientific isn't it? Then again, adding your own insights, meanings, and creativity will always make these poems more fun than strict science can allow (save Dolly the sheep).

Disclaimer: Yes, it's true, we don't practice true Japanese haiku. (True Japanese haiku does not translate striclty into 5, 7, 5 syllables per line.) At SGDP, however, we do. (That's why it's so easy.)

Oh, blog, what is this?
