The Catherine Paradigm[Haiku]



Sitting here thinking
Ideas swirling everywhere
Will my ink run dry?

By: ©William J Dorsey Jr. (Copyright) November 2, 2013
Note: This poem is for Catherine Berg, I wrote it as a paradigm OR example/model of how to construct a proper Haiku. American Haiku, that is.
