05/14/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

Photo by the author of the mountains in Vang Vieng, Laos

Mountains, mountains, and
Then even more mountains, and
Mountains after that

Blast from the Past:

Islands of mountains
Rising up from the sea of clouds
A Bhudda statue

05/10/25 A New Haiku for a New Day

Photo by me

Rainbows, waterfalls,
Mist, and sun sun all come and go
In the Fiordlands

This one is about Fiordland National Park in New Zealand, one of my favorite national parks to visit in the world. I saw more rainbows there in three days than I think I did anywhere in the world, for example, and the mountains constantly shift between weather extremes throughout the day, completely changing the landscape in the process.

Blast from the Past:

The rain must be drums
Upon the water’s surface
For the fish beneath

// A Java Haiku

public static void
haiku(String cheese) {
System.out.print(cheese); }

Today, I felt like writing a haiku in Java. It’s a programming pun, based on the common word “string” in programming lexicon but also the idea of string cheese.
