     Haiku DayThe rules are simple...you write yourself a haiku,
 then you caption it.
 
 I have difficulties in a large number of things, mostly things that involve writing and reading. It might seem strange to you then that I should host a website dedicated to creative -- and sometime amusing -- writing.
 
 For one -- I am dyslexic, not strongly so, but enough to slow me down and cause me to reread and self-flagellate. For two -- I have a blind spot for writing poetry, I strangely lack the ability to count syllables, or to stick to a consistant meter.
 
 To put it concisely: I have a tough time writing a haiku.
 
 I also have a tough time drawing hands and faces, to solve this issue I decided to keep on drawing hands and faces until I was satisfied -- thus the reason for haiku day.
 
 Enjoy. (I didn't so much)

 | 
|
| <Mort> It takes me too long to write in this haiku style --
 arghhhh brain smoldering!

 to express a com-
 |

 not fit for haiku
