Silly little poems.

I was inspired to write a haiku from this post today on my aunt's blog: DaisyLand: Haik who?

When I was in school, if we had an assignment to write a poem, I would always choose to do a haiku, because they're relatively simple, and certainly short, and easy to come up with, and they don't rhyme. It made for simple assignments.
The first topic that came to mind to write about is japan, since that's a big thing coming up and it's on my mind.

I will fly away
the land of the rising sun
Japan awaits me

Long plane rides are dull
twelve hours is long to sit down
Arrive with sore butt.

Jet lag: not my friend
Falling asleep at strange times.
the first days are tough.
