Wire Haiku

Let’s try some one-word haiku:

saltwater
igneous
cobblestone
searchlights
akihabara

Inspired by  Cor van den Heuvel’s deceptively brilliant one word haiku, which I feel I must reproduce in full, spacing and all:

tundra

I thought I’d take a crack at writing my own one-word haiku, but with subjects a little more complex. My personal favourite is “cobblestone”, and perhaps my least is “akihabara” (place names are just cheating). Maybe I’ll take another swing at these in the future, when I need a change of pace.

Music today is It Gets Funkier IV by Vulfpeck and Louis Cole. Vulfpeck might just be my favourite instrumental act ever: usually music feels hollow without lyrics, but there’s something about Vulfpeck’s instrumental work that fills the void. (Their music with lyrics is also great.)
