This week I bring a haiku poem. Haiku is a Japanese poetry technique of three lines, totaling seventeen syllables, with a 5-7-5 rhythm. Generally, they contain an image, a descriptive element, and a juxtaposition of the two. Please note that, if you were to internet search various haikus, many would fall out of the 5-7-5 rhythm. This is because the translated Japanese words to English words don't necessary have the same syllables. (Hello has two syllables, versus four with konnichiwa.)
Coffeepot
Empty coffeepot,
seeks attention from master.
Sits, waits for morning.
