Wopowrimo: Half an hour's quiet reflection each day Because a challenge is a gift, not a curse. I'm not a poet; I'm an engineer. Not that the two need to be mutually exclusive, of course; but either way, I don't consider myself even an amateur poet. However, I decided to do WoPoWriMo, because trying to do something I don't know how to do is a learning experience to be enjoyed, not something to be afraid of. I've found I can knock out reasonable haiku; and I've had some fun doing it in git!
