And it still might be my favorite. If so, yours is second. And hey, the one above was written a couple hundred years ago... so yours takes the prize for best modern haiku.
Well, to be honest, my haiku does not include a nature reference so the hundred-year one will still win any competition. But perhaps modern haiku don't need no fancy schmancy nature references. You never know!
Say, what's in that bottle you're holding in your user pic? That's a mighty big bottle to be toting around there. :)
Butterflies are nice Found the Kahlua bottle It's White Russian time
~or~
Marmots are so cute Found the Kahlua bottle It's White Russian time
~or better still~
Musk ox are real big Found the Kahlua bottle It's White Russian time
Ya know, something like that to cover your bases.
As for the photo, it's an (unfortunately) empty jug I found when I was doing archaeological compliance work on an old mining site in the Wrangell Mountains. I found it next to an old moonshine still (which is in the photo, just not the icon).
