I’m putting up the tweet here because I can’t embed the original link. The elements, in haiku: I rather liked Iron’s and Titanium’s. The world needs more chemistry-based poetry. Or physics-based poetry. Depends on what you majored in in college, I suppose.

A bunch of posts collapsed into nothing tonight and I’m tapped out for ideas. So… write some haiku. We haven’t had one of those in a while.
Inspired by incidents on Twitter. This is, of course, a fine old Internet tradition: even if most Japanese would be horrified at what we routinely do to one of their favorite art forms. On the other hand, warping other culture’s customs is a fine old American tradition. On the gripping hand, I’ve seen what the Japanese do to our stuff, so they can just deal.
A leaf’s idle drift
Waters whisper, “Stones are near”
So cherish the sun.
