three prime numbers. each

its own line. so much to say,

so little room to–

fun fact: this photo was the top hit on Unsplash when searching haiku. apparently this is what a haiku looks like, according to technology.

(honestly... i feel like it is actually a pretty good representation. nice one, technology.)

if you'd like another haiku experience, here's one from a while ago... a tetra-haiku:

    Cleverly done, Tony. Last line made me smile.

    Three waterfalls that seem to follow the rules of Haiku. Perfect all around.

  • I really liked technology's representation of a Haiku. And I love your Haiku about a Haiku. It was spot on!

    Haha! So good! I felt this one– so many words in my head, so few syllables left! 😂 your ending was the best! That’s 100% the perfect haiku pic– amazing for this piece…flow of water/words constricted by the edge of the photo, forced into a small picture. The other words/water not seen, flowing down river. Maybe I took that too far, but those were my thoughts 😂. Also, way better than some of the words I search 🤪

    Omg, this is so funny, Tony. That author's note made me chuckle, as I have noticed that "haiku" brings up curious images. I guess Unsplash thinks all haiku include waterfalls and greenish rocks...🧐 BUT I love your haiku too; that last line is so clever.

    Great haiku (made me think about all sorts of possibilities for the end). And I loved the perfect match in the picture, too.
