Blog 28: One Day Late

This is my “Blog about anything” but it is one day late.  Did anybody notice that the title rhymes?  I thought about writing a whole blog in rhymes, but that would take a serious amount of work.  And I haven’t written anything with rhyming every since… I learned about Haiku’s.  Haiku’s are an asian poetry style (I’m pretty sure), and they’re basically a god send for anyone who can’t rhyme, or write some really deep poem stuff.  They start out with 5 syllables on the first line, then 7 on the next, and back down to 5 for the ending line.  Yup.  Three lines are all you need.   And because they are an accepted type of poetry, nobody can call you lazy.  I would have really liked to be the guy who invented Haiku’s though -  I’m all about the Haiku’s.  And it wouldn’t have been that hard either; you just would have to be born a really long time ago.  That’s how I feel with a lot of inventions.  If I was just born before all the good ideas were taken, I could have come up with a thousand things.  I know it’s not that easy, but that is just how I feel.  I try to remember quotes like hindsight is 20/20, and this one quote I read made by the president of an American patent company sometime in the 1900’s – before just about anything we use today was invented.  He said the same thing I did – all the good ideas are taken.  Surely, they are not, but it does make you wonder what else we could possibly invent?
