Jay's Saturday Morning Haiku - 14

Jay's Saturday morning haiku - 14

The English form of the traditional Japanese Haiku includes any or all of the following:

• The use of 17 syllables, in the form of three lines, with 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively.  Some haiku may employ 10 - 14 syllables, but 17 is traditional.
• The use of a season in the poem.
• The use of a "cut word" or punctuation to set off and compare two images.

BY WAY OF INFORMATION, THE YOUNG MAN FROM AFGHANISTAN, COMPLETING HIS FIFTH ALL-EXPENSE-PAID TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST, WILL BE HOME IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.  WE NEVER KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.  WE MAY SEE HIM AND WE MAY NOT.  BETWEEN THE LAST TOUR AND THIS ONE WE DID NOT SEE HIM.  SOMETIMES THEY ONLY GIVE HIM A COUPLE OF DAYS TO VISIT EVERYONE HE NEEDS.  BUT STILL, IT APPEARS HE WILL BE HOME SOON.
