    Alphabetical Haiku Challenge

    OK, all you poets: here is a challenge for you:

    Write a haiku on any subject.  The haiku form we will be using (there are several, but this one will do for this challenge) consists of three lines.  The first line has five syllables, the second has seven, and the third has 5.  The special challenge this time is to make each line of the haiku start with the same letter. 

    Are you game?  Let's go!

    Hugs ~~ Aunt Bobby

    Friends are fantastic.

    Fun doubled by two.
