    Great job Amalia. I know enough about Greek mythology to appreciate the references, but I'll be sure to read your linked post later for a little more context.

    There's nothing wrong with a non-traditional haiku. I agree, you told a story in three lines.

    I don't know why blogspot hates me and ate my comment, but I just have to say that I enjoyed your haiku immensely! It inspired me to join, obviously. So, yay Amalia!

    Wow! You really did just tell his story in a haiku- I'm uber-impressed!

    I think using haikus might be a good tool for really condensing what my novels are about. Even if I don't follow the syllable rule. :)

    Okay, clearly you don't suck at haiku. You just suck at telling if you suck at haiku.

    Very well done!

    Sarah, yay! thank you :)

    Stephanie, I was thinking that exact same thing. It seems like a great place to begin with for an elevator pitch!

    Thanks, Nate! I will keep that in mind. haha.
