I hope I found everyone's haiku. Did this because I couldn't sleep -- doesn't mean I'm wide awake
If you like haikus, then I recommend you read:
Beside a Burning Sea by John ShorsIt's a very good historical fiction that has lots of beautiful haiku. It had me daydreaming in haiku.
I can't believe how creative everyone is! Great job pjreads! Does this make me a published author?
Wow! Thanks pjreads--awake or not--awesome job!
Lisa, that looks good. I think I'll add it to my to-be-read list.
Thanks pjreads, it's so nice to see what everyone's written all in one place :)
I was thinking we should have a thread like this! Great to see what everyone came up with!
Rain sounds on the roof
