Friday Fun.

What's With Haiku? This is for You!

I like to reserve Fridays for a fun post. Sommething a little off topic or just plain odd.

Today, as I was perusing my updates and feeds, I found an article about a writer,  Courtney Symons,  who is writing "100 Days of Haiku'", a poetic upgrade to her daily journal. Read More...

I write dozens of blogs, tweets and articles every day related to real estate and I it made me think.

Let's see how well my ying and yang work together in my feat for 100 Real Estate Haikus.The first thing to do is find out "What is a Haiku?"

So I searched online to be sure I had the right recipe and decided that I am going to begin my very own Real Estate 100 Days of Haiku! It's much harder than you may think because you have to get the syllables correct in order for it to be a true Haiku.

The Haiku Recipe goes like this:

5 syllables

7 syllables

5 syllables

Once you really start sounding out words, they all of a sudden become more syllables than you had originally thought! That's because we are lazy in language and tend to meld words together or incorrectly. 


Drumroll please. This is Kathy Goldman, REVA Online, First Real Estate Haiku. First of 100 Real Estate Haikus.I think this is going to be a great effort in revisiting the English language, the Thesaurus and real estate ideas.

so.....drumroll please....

Haikus can be silly but they can also get a message across in a very simple way. Your Haiku ROCKS Chris Ann!
