I have to admit that my favorite form of poetry is haiku. I am fascinated by how the simple 5-7-5 format can produce some incredibly profound results. To prove what a haiku nerd I am, sometimes my husband and I e-mail each other only in haiku form.
But I digress. My reason for this post today is to submit a request to readers for their best haiku about the Nelson-Atkins. Your haiku can be about anything in, at, on or around the Museum. Heck you can even "haiku" about the blog, if you like.
To get things started, here is my haiku about One Sun / 34 Moons by Walter De Maria, the site-specific sculpture on the Museum's Plaza.
Wind rippling water
One Sun shining brightly
34 Moons a glow
Happy Haikuing!

This is a great idea--hopefully a lot of the museum's patrons will send in their haiku!
You should also have a look at a collaborative art project called Haiku for You: http://haikuforyou.org
I'm sure they would post a Nelson-Atkins haiku!

Danny,
Thank you for the link to the Haiku for You project. I have submitted the Nelson-Atkins as a subject idea. I can't wait to see if a haiku is created!
I have not received any haiku from readers yet. I was hoping you would start it?
