HAIKU STRUCTURE

In your first post, you are invited to provide two different ways of structuring the same words. Here are examples of the same words in different structures:

summer dawn

parrots swooping through

the sprinkler

parrots swooping

through the sprinkler

summer dawn

summer dawn parrots swooping through the sprinkler

parrots swooping through the sprinkler

summer dawn

              summer

                             dawn

                                         parrots                                            sprinkler

                                                       swooping                  the

                                                                         through

parrots

swooping

through

the

sprinkler

summer

dawn

In your second post, you are invited to perform the same experiment --- with a different set of words. Dare yourself to try a structure for the first time. At the end of the week, I will assume that the uppermost variation in each post is what you want sent to the editors. Remember the kigo. Avoid shopworn images. Strive for originality.
