One-Liner Wednesday: A Monoku Response

Here’s my contribution to Linda G. Hills “One-Liner Wednesday” prompt. I discovered this through Fandango’s response to the same prompt.

This is a monoku, essentially a variant of haiku. If you’re not familiar with them, Jason Muckley has a great explanation on his blog.

Today’s Haiku: Bursts of Color

bursts of color reach my eye
underneath the leaves

Saw these on my walk yesterday. They were striking, standing out solidly in the mass of green.

I finished up Summer quarter on my journey to finish my ATA in Web Development. I will write some about that soon. Six quarters complete and three quarters left. Now, what to do afterwards? So much opportunity, so many choices, thus, so many things to say “no” to. That’s my pain.

Today’s Haiku Challenge: Rest

On Twitter there’s a daily “haiku challenge” by @Baffled (today’s word is “rest”). I try my best to do these every day. A lovely community has sprung up around them. For me, it’s one of the best parts of Twitter.
