I didn't even know about it. :laugh5:
Maybe I will enter now.....

Actually, I teach a class for senior citizens in my community. I thought that maybe getting them to write a Haiku would be a good mental exercise for them.

Aimee, please give us
A much needed rest from all
These tired crashes.

George was quite sexy
And he had long wavy hair
And he was intense.
