More Postal Haiku

There was a surprising response to last week's call for postal haiku. If you missed it, a haiku is a traditional word discipline, started in Japan, where the writer creates short poems. A haiku has 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables.

A Twitter user, Postal_poems sent these in: 

• Why write a letter? / to savor pen on paper / life between the lines
• find cool postal stuff / usps mobile app / at your finger tips
•  usps: neither rain nor sleet / we hear it every day / enough already!

And then many of you submitted your own. Here's just a sample:

• We united our nation/ Built up communication/Cannot be replaced.
• What is it we bring?/Heartfelt words from far away/Love in your mailbox.
• We deliver mail/We link the World together/We must never die.
• The Postal Eagle/His Priority is mail/Soaring for Service
• Simple messages/Cut through the advert clutter/"If it fits, it ships"
• Blue delivers/The eagle soars high/ we are the PO
• Walk in drop it off/Amazing how far it goes/With just a stamp!

And here's my favorite : Benjamin Franklin/statesman, inventor, writer/we honor you now

Now before you get on Benny's case, I didn't disqualify any of the above to if they didn't meet the strict rules. But you get the drift, and I applaud the efforts.

  

Now, it's your turn. Here's the format:

• 5 syllables on the first line
• 7 on the second
• 5 on the third 

Write you Haiku out and then post it  here.
