Welcome to an exciting new monthly blog series at dmdc: Pinch + Punch! It may look like a re-branding of a previous lamely named series – but it’s oh so much more! // March isn’t too hectic at college, but I’ve got quite a few speaking opportunities. So hoping I can preach well AND work hard at college even though there isn’t much due.
I planned on trying to design a desktop wallpaper each month. Let’s be real. That’s not going to happen. So above is my favourite from the March selection at Smashing Magazine. It’s called: Haiku on Hanami. I’m not very good at poetry. But I want to be. So I’m hoping it will inspire me to greater poetic poetry poetiness. Or not.
Here’s the best of February (according to clicks) and some other stats:
- Most popular Jesus post: What we know about God shapes thinking & living
- Most popular Life post: 40 Days of Water
- Most popular Culture post: Who has the most street cred with teenagers?
- Most popular Design post: RU involved in Church design/tech/web or other media?
- 20% more hits than the same month last year
- 5% less hits than the previous month
If you’ve read this far – you have to leave a comment in the form of a Haiku poem. 5-7-5. Thanks.
I never really got Haiku’s
I do not really see their point
But then again maybe once
Duke you are funny
You got the syllables wrong
But I got them right
If a blog post says
It’s not really worth clicking
Then I must click it
Some call it sneaky
It’s reverse psychology
Pity fool who clicks
Haikus are easy
but not when you want to say
so very much more
i am super lame
for not being cool and free
with my commenting
i am enjoying
this haiku anthology.
regular feature?
It is hard to tell
if anyone would want to
write haikus often
Yes maybe you’re right
But there’s nothing wrong with dreams
This might change the world.
