Haikus are lovely little poems that can be very powerful with a few
scant words. My husband wrote one for me which he recited at our
wedding 20 years ago. Some of you know the proper format. For those
of you who don't, and who migh be interested, here it is:
first line: 5 syllables
second line: 7 syllable
third line: 5 syllables
I think a folder of letterboxers' haikus would be an enjoyable
asset to the main LBNA site. But, since I can't create it, who am I
to suggest?

Also, there must be a reference to one of the four seasons, not matter how vague.
