Haiku of Aviation
wrote:
A little fun. I have been describing soaring to power pilots as the
Haiku of aviation, seemingly simple, but actually perhaps the most
multi-faceted. Got me thinking, why not give it a try? Anyone else
care to try?
haiku |ˈhīˌkoō; ˌhīˈkoō|
noun ( pl. same or -kus )
a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven,
and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
• an English imitation of this:
Soaring in the spring.
Such elegance and beauty.
Haiku of the sky.
OK, i understand that there is little point but - haiku is much more
than some words in a 5-7-5 format. In any case, there no harm being done
here :-).
