The longer I live -

Paper(1), sermon(2), message(3), prayer(4) - 

     the shorter I write.

 And now I'm 75 days into this haiku project!  We should try a couple of weeks where each day we cut out one syllable, until for the last day we are down to a one, one syllable, word!    "Ouch!"

(1) in college-seminary, 20 pages?

(2) 3-4 pages?

(3) like for a newsletter - 3-4 paragraphs

(4) 40-50 words (according to Brian Wren!)

 

Or (for the middle line)you could choose from "announcements", "liturgy", "stories", "poems"....(pick any that add up to 7 syllables!

Or you could stick with the tried and true "Poems and prayers and promises" thanks to John Denver!
