August 29, 2009Haiku and Also with YouWho doesn't like haiku--that endearing five-seven-five syllabic poetry form that can be as poignant as it can be prosaic? Rebecca featured a couple in her first ever Strangely Dim post, that's how awesome haiku are. I wonder if haiku can also be devotional, even creedal. I've heard lately of people writing their testimonies on pieces of cardboard, tweeting their theology in 140 characters or less, even presenting Christianity in no more than three words. So haiku ought to do, if you take my meaning.
I'll try a couple; I invite you to post your own as we enter into an open-ended season of sporadic faith-based haiku. Or something like that. God created us. When he did, he called us good. Taste the irony. Jesus saves sinners. Why would he do such a thing? Sinners are naughty. The earth is the Lord's. He put us in charge of it. Sorry for that, Earth.
