a little help from my friends



I’ve been doing this (mostly) handwritten haiku routine since the beginning of the month. It’s a little extra effort, but it’s kind of fun doing something different. The idea came from a post on Colin’s blog (the newly retitled First initial, last name), and was subsequently encouraged by a few of my favorite commenters.

Two and a half weeks into this experiment, I’m starting to wonder if I might be able to get some input from my little audience of haiku readers. If anyone would be so inclined, I’d love to be able to post a few guest haiku of the handwritten variety. Anyone willing to try is welcome to send an image of a self-written haiku. They don’t have to be in any particular style of writing — however you write is fine. It can be as artistic or as straightforward as you like.

If you’d like to help me out, please email any offerings or questions to me at howard@nonbreakingspace.com. Please feel free to take part, or click here to check out the contributions collected thus far.

NOTE: Though it didn’t occur to me to post this originally, I want to make sure everyone understands that I won’t try to take credit for any contributions sent my way. I will credit each one as the author specifies, including a link to the contributor’s website if applicable. Also, images can be hosted here, or served from a third-party site such as Flickr.

  • This sounds like fun. I'll try and have one sent in before the end of the day when I have time.
  • Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Your haiku would be most welcome. I'm anticipating a variety of great responses. The more, the merrier.
