I like the haiku, and I really like the idea of seeing the handwritten versions of them. I don't know if you should worry about writing them all on one type of paper, or even with one type of pen. It might be better to change it up a little, maybe even form the haikus on the refrigerator with those magnetice letters, or any other variations on media?

Howard, I second what PJ says, I think it's cool to show your process. Sometimes you write in a notebook, sometimes on gorgeous paper with a watermark, sometimes on the back of a napkin or scratched into the margins of a newspaper. I do like (and so does Google) that you print the haiku, too. This is exciting…again, I like the art of your handwriting. It's elegant and clear and the opposite of chicken scratch.

Thanks to you both. I can see now that there might be a little fun in showing some variety as far as media goes.

To your assessment of my handwriting, Frank, the scrawl shown here may be the result of a tiny bit of self-consciousness — it can get a whole lot sloppier if I really let loose ;)

I'm thirding it (can you third something?)

The handwritten version lends a personality to it that the Internet (in all its God-given glory) cannot.

If I can read it, it's not chicken scratch.

You can most definitely third something (at least in this case). Thanks for chiming in, Anthony.

I'm with PJ. Doesn't matter what you write it on, in fact variety may make it interesting. I love it!
