Be sure to check out the website.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t ever remember writing a haiku while in school. So it was with some trepidation that I decided to write one. However it was fun and soon I had six written. Okay it was fun, although it did remind of writing a Twitter tweet where one is limited to 140 characters. To write a typical haiku, it consists of only three lines. The first and third lines should only be five syllables while the second line is seven syllables.<\/p>\n<p>Try it and see what haikus you can come up with for Regional Wine Week!
