Hello Lowlanders:

With tongue planted in cheek, I have developed a new poetry genre.  I call
it texku, because it has the structure of haiku (5-7-5), but the topic of
Texas.  Haiku requires a reference to nature, but texku requires the
expression of joy or lament.  Below, you’ll see my first effort after a
summer of more than 65 days of 100F (38C) temperatures.

Cooler days to come
Summer heat still melts blacktop
Why do they delay?

Mark Brooks
