Here’s something a little different:
A few months back, I wrote a history book. It’s a biography of one of my heroes, John Quincy Adams. It was fun to write, and quite a departure from the haiku that spill out of my pen on a daily basis.
Anyway, a lot of ink, sweat, and tears went into this. Hope you love it!

P.S. I’ve been busy these last few months! I’ll try to catch you up soon.
The meaning of life
and the mystery of life
are one and the same.

It’s a bit different from what I normally write, and I was hesitant to submit it anywhere. But there it is, written out as a sentence and following a 5-7-5 scheme.
The basic idea of the haiku is this: The question is the answer. We’re here to wonder why we’re here. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be justified in wondering about it anyway.
Kinda pretentious, huh? Don’t worry, though. I’ve written several proper haiku (if there is such a thing!) over the last few days, and I look forward to sharing them with you soon!
