Original challenge from Yojinbo. My response:
Metal sings with sparks
Clashing, rebounding, dancing -
arc of fatal light

So let me start a trend, whereby I post my responses to #haikuchallenge from Twitter. The concept behind #haikuchallenge is someone tags a Tweet thusly, specifies the word or concept to be captured in a haiku, and presents their offering. Since Twitter is one line, 140 characters maximum, the haiku is typically presented using a slash “/” to separate the verses or phrases of the haiku.
Tonight’s #haikuchallenge is from OregonMJW, who is one of those folks who has a great deal of creative talent and a big heart whom I have been fortunate to meet through Twitter. Hopefully one day I will get to meet her in person, much like other good people I have encountered online and then had the good fortune to finally meet in person.
OK, enough rambling – the #haikuchallenge is “lost“:
Paw prints in fresh snow
Snow gently warms crystal gems
Marks of passing lost

I’ve been wanting to try something other than the default WordPress theme for a while, and I finally bit the bullet. I went for the Tarski theme, because they have this really cool default graphic, and because it is very, very clean. I still need to see about customizing the styles a little bit (I’d like a little white space between the top of the window and the header graphic), and adding a few more plug-ins / widgets, but in general I’m pretty darned pleased. I only have two more sites to work on. Le sigh.
Speaking of the header graphic, that’s a cutout of a photo I took while on walkabout in Patterson Park. I need to post photos from that jaunt, but not tonight.
