My good friend and colleague Doug Peterson (@dougpete<\/a> on Twitter) called me out on his Doug – Off the Record<\/a> blog this morning, in the introduction to his post entitled,\u00a0Haiku Deck for iPad Presentations<\/a>. \u00a0Before I get into this, I should mention that Doug astounds me with the regularity of his postings — they arrive every day (at 5:01 am), and many times will be the first thing I read in the morning. Kind of an Internet alarm clock, as it were. If he’s missed a day in the last — oh, I don’t know how long — I must not have been paying attention.<\/em><\/p>\n

I initially started to compose my reply to his call out in the comment box on his blog, but then decided that all the links would trip up his Akismet plug-in. And so I post it here.<\/em><\/p>\n

So Doug said:<\/p>\n

\""Doug's<\/a>

“Doug’s Haiku Call-Out\/Homage” by aforgrave, on Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n

And so, my response. I will let #twHaiku<\/strong> do the talking.<\/p>\n

The mighty #twHaiku,<\/em>
\n Captures an essence of thought,<\/em>
\n In Tweeting moments …<\/em><\/p>\n

\""Haiku<\/a>

“Haiku Deck, Am I.” by aforgrave, on Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n

Mighty Haiku Deck<\/a><\/em>
\n Did not escape attention,<\/em>
\n ‘Twas just averse to verse.<\/em><\/p>\n

\""Haiku<\/a>

“Haiku LMS” by aforgrave, on Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n

And similarly,
\nthe LMS named Haiku<\/a>,
\nAlso caught my glance.<\/p>\n

\""EggChicken<\/a>

“EggChicken Hycku” by aforgrave, on Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n

Tried also Hycku
\nSocial site for poetry.
\nPosed a mighty koan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\""Spam-ku<\/a>

“Spam-ku from Twitpic 358321218” by aforgrave, on Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n

This epic treatise,<\/em>
\n From Amazon’s far reaches<\/a>,<\/em>
\n Informs consumption.<\/em><\/p>\n

And in closing,<\/p>\n

Some contemplations,<\/em>
\n Gather in rumination<\/a>.<\/em>
\n May one day inform.<\/em><\/p>\n

And<\/p>\n

Thus our moments flow,<\/em>
\n #twHaiku blips in Twitter’s stream.<\/em>
\n Precious, pure, and gold.<\/em><\/p>\n

I realize that one typically does not present Haiku together — each should stand on its own. \u00a0And each of these does. But together they also provide a bit of a narrative. With some spaces in between.<\/p>\n
