Free Spirit

by Jody Pratt

I do not count the
syllables in my haiku's;
I simply wing it.



Alternatively...

I do not count the
feathers when I try to fly;
I simply wing it.

Very nice! I like them both.

It sounds good to me. I always stop counting after 1, 2, 3,...! It just gets too hard. By the way do you know that there are exactlly the same number of points on 4 inch line as there are on a 10 inch line?

This becomes so much more to think about with the two alternatives presented. Thanks, Jody!

At first read I liked the first version, then the second grew on me until I couldnt decide, love seeing alternatives!

Ha! Touché old man!! You and I are birds of a feather when it come to haiku and flight.
