I wanted to post three days of my #Haikus from Twitter formatted, edited and with links to the pictures. Not only can I get them into columns, but there seems to be an extra space between each line, so this will be an unpleasant blog-post. If you struggle though, thanks so much. I am sorry I’ve been so derelict in my updating, but life is now. (HMMM, sounds like a Haiku)

I disagree with your “I’m a big hater” haiku—you seem to like all this new technology (or at least you use it well). Great post! 🙂
You are too kind, but I’m having trouble using my mental centerfuge to separate life from wistful nostalgia…

You have some broken image links on your postings. Check the html code.
Love the haikus! Especially the one’s on gender & class.
Also, if you want single spacing, hold down the shift key while hitting the return key.
