Three Days of Tweet #Haikus

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)

  1. 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! 🙂

  2. Nostalgia is a form of obstructionism – Gloria Steinhem

    You have some broken image links on your postings. Check the html code.

    Love the haikus! Especially the one’s on gender & class.

  3. Also, if you want single spacing, hold down the shift key while hitting the return key.
