Haiku 4 U

Small green shoots come forth
fully aroused by warming
promises fulfilled

Spring Poppies by - Susan Hazard

Oh, those clever Japanese! Breaking down a complex subject into just 17 moras (syllables in English) – Perhaps an early marketing technique we can credit them for. Similar to, but perhaps more prosaic than:

Strong enough for a Man,
but made for a woman. – Dial Soap

We make money the old fashioned way,
we earrrrrrn it. – Smith Barney

Plop, plop; fizz, fizz;
oh, what a relief it is. – Alka Seltzer

When it absolutely, positively
has to be there overnight. – Federal Express

We’re number two,
we try harder. – Avis Rental Cars

Advertising Slogans,
the Haiku of the Marketing World. – JK

The first three responders with a structurally correct Haiku will receive something lovely from my kitchen.

Happy Spring!
Mrs. Knightly
