HANOI 5-7-5

My roomate Julia has recently created a website to capture life in Hanoi in the age-old verse of Haiku. I was sceptical at first, not being the poetic type myself- however, there is something to be said for trying to process life in Viet Nam through three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables.

Mom, I thought you would appreciate this, seeing as you love your Hike-Kus. You should post one on Julia's website Hanoi575!

Here's one I submitted after coming out of a week-long stomach/digestive episode, all thanks to the wonders of my new-found friend, ciprofloxacin.

Homage
my belly rumbles
forces inside pull and tear
ciprofloxacin

One thing to Haiku about- picnic lunch on the swan boats in the middle of West Lake
