Geocaching Haiku

Recommended Posts

Since haiku has been done, how about doing an older Japanese form called "tanka"?

 

31 sound units in a 5-7-5-7-7 pattern. Generally written in 5 lines, it features a 2-part form with the first part creating a concrete image or setting that is connected to a comment or emotion in the final 2 lines.

 

All you poets, have at it!

Hiding a new cache.

I'll throw it out the window

Then mark a waypoint.

Hey, Jeremy...just in case your name should need to become verbed, do you prefer "Jeremied" or Jeremyed" or possibly some other spelling?

 

Always wear proper caching safety equipment!

Will it soon be spring?

They lay the groundwork for it,

the plum tree and the moon.

 

Now how am I supposed to

use the moon as a way point?

No one walks this road

on which I travel, on which

autumn darkness falls.

 

Perhaps the geocaching

picnic took place yesterday?
