Haiku Inspiration for all of us beginners

[undesiredusername]

O snail

Climb Mount Fuji,

But slowly, slowly!

(Kobayashi Issa)

I love this poem for lots of reasons.

I think it's very appropriate for my C25K journey at this moment in time. (W3R2 tomorrow)

Hope it inspires you too.

new trainers to wear

5 kilometres to run

fast may not be best

[Bazza1234 Graduate]

I am old

I run and run

Soon you will be old

That is brilliant Bazza!

I love the sound of poetry in the morning!

My husband says:

It is 8am

Sun creeps around the lakeside

I am creeping too

[AncientMum Graduate]

Creaking ankle joints

Aching quads and sore knees too

Still I love running

[runningnearbeirut Graduate]

Goodbye couch.

I'm a proper runner now

Don't tell me I'm not.

(It's taken me ALL DAY to come up with this!!! I'm definitely not a poet, but I really wanted to try)
