I’m learning to write Haiku.

It’s a traditional form of Japanese poetry known for its simplicity

I’ve tried before and not done well.
But this time I have a better teacher.
AI channelling the spirit of a Haiku poet.

The great Matsuo Bashō.

A haiku is typically a three-line poem with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern:

Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 7 syllables
Line 3: 5 syllables

They usually focus on nature and fleeting moments
I decided to break free and twist the tradition.
Explore a business experience instead.

Here’s my first attempt.
Workshopped with Bashō’s spirit.
It captures a moment at a networking event:



𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺
𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲
𝗠𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆



Does that capture networking events for you, or would your Haiku be different?

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
