I went to a Haiku poetry workshop today and tried my hand
at a couple of haiku poems. Classic haiku is a very simple,
yet restrained format of 17 syllables total and often broken
into 3 lines. The first line containing 5 syllables, followed
by 7, ending with 5 again.
This little poem below is to honor Kubota Japanese Gardens
in Seattle. There, you will find many types of trees and many
weeping varieties that are not commonly seen elsewhere.
I include a picture of the majestic weeping sequoia so you
can get a visual sense of it.

Bethie,
I love the sequoia haiku!

and I love that I know what a weeping sequoia is – thanks to you and your knowledge and our tree walks! Love you, Bethie
