My 6-year-old loves geography and learning about other countries. While reading about Japan, he learned about haiku and made us write some.
I looked at mine and thought, “Wow, that is shitty.”
Some things deserve to be put into the world because of their inherent beauty, they make you feel hopeful about life. Other things, well, they deserve to be seen because they are just so shitty they will make you feel better about your lot in life.
These haiku?
Well, they’re shitty.
