As part of my Blogging 101 Day 15 Assignment: Creating a New Posting Feature, I have decided to give myself a challenge (and of course anyone else may join in!) by using Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day each Friday in a Haiku. (A haiku is a three-line poem with 5 syllables in the first and last line and 7 syllables in the middle.)
Today’s word is PERFECT!
Laconic Haiku
When braggarts are urged
to keep comments laconic…
silence is golden

I could talk so much
But, shut my mouth, I’ve been told
Keep it laconic.
*************
(yes, the perfect description for today’s word.)
Thanks for this feature. I plan to join in. – Karen

I LOVE your Haiku Karen! Being laconic is something I struggle with as a writer. Thanks for joining in…until next Friday then! Who knows what the word of the day will be? That to me is part of the fun! Have a great weekend!

When writing a blog
We are urged to use short link
Laconic, we think!

I had not really heard of it or if I had, I didn’t know the meaning. We’ll learn so many interesting words! Great idea!
