Into The Future

Written for Haiku Fridays with J-Dub
where Jill challenges us to write our
haiku using this image as inspiration.
I’ve written a ukiah for prompt #5
from Val’s Haiku Scavenger Hunt.

Nancy’s Notes: Ukiah is a true reverse Haiku developed by Robert Ropars. It isn’t just the name that’s reversed; instead of typical un-rhymed haiku consisting of  3 lines with a syllable count of 5/7/5, ukiah consists of 3 lines with a syllable count of 7/5/7 and all 3 lines must rhyme.

This is “Computer Blue” by Prince

  1. Nice one Nancy…it is a different ballgame now…just in the past 20 years! Technology has moved so fast…I work in it and I can’t keep caught up.
