Thanks so much for all of your congratulations for Chelsea and me on the birth coming up in our family!! That was so nice of all of you!! I heard from Krissy last night and she is holding up. John finished his chemotherapy yesterday and is still able to sit in a chair, so that is a good sign. The doctors called him a "Star Patient". Please pray for his transplant on Friday. I will keep you all up-to-date as best as I can.
Today is Wednesday so I have an installment of "Wordplay". I hope you guys take a stab at this one. It takes some thought, but it will be lots of fun! Here it is...
One of my favorite poems to write is the haiku. I like the flow and rhythm of them. I like that they don't rhyme.
Haiku defined from Merriam Webster - an unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines containing usually 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively.
Paper holds choice words
Plucked while dancing in my thoughts
A haiku is born
