Poets on Renton WA myspace are creating Haikus about our beautiful city.
(As a reminder, A Haiku must “paint” a mental image in the reader’s mind. This is the challenge of Haiku – to put the poem’s meaning and imagery in the reader’s mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three lines of poetry!)
Some samples:
Landed at Seatac
Get home in fifteen minutes
Be jealous Kirkland
Coulon in summer
better than all but Alki
swimming and sunshine
Yet another gorgeous sunset at Coulon Park

A lot has changed since 1776, but the Bald Eagles seem to be a resiliant species if we don’t hunt them! Yay!
