俳句 Send Us Your Tractor Haiku

Recently I ran across The Local Harvest Blog where I read a haiku that put a smile on my face.

For many of us it has probably been years since we have written a haiku, or even heard the word. But we are putting out the challenge to you to send in your tractor haikus to us.

If you need a little refresher a Haiku is classical japanese poetry form with a rich history, but this isn't a history lesson. The standard haiku format is a triplet of lines containing five, seven, and five syllables per respective line.

We will start you off with a couple that were written by Elizabeth, a Steiner employee who works in Customer Service / Marketing.

Once I had pliers

Now a new wheel from Steiner

steering easier

My antique tractor

Not an IH or JD

Ford is best for me

We look forward to reading your take on this fun form of poetry.
