Day 17 Seventeen Syllables
June 17, 1971. The Okinawa Reversion Agreement was signed. This agreement between the United States and Japan returned control of Okinawa to Japan.
A Haiku is a traditional Japanese form of poetry. It is three lines: the first and third lines have five syllables each and the second line has seven syllables for a total of seventeen syllables. They are often about nature.
Write a Haiku. Please include a picture that illustrates your poem.

2nd haiku to a garment. First was to the red coat (see 6/9). Had this grand plan (in 2011!) to fill a sketchbook with haikus to items in my closet. Found shinier things to do.

I’ve never written a haiku, so hopefully it’s actually a haiku? lol
