haiku

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
