Thanks for the fantastic response to the #Haiku theme on Twitter Laureate over the last 2 weeks.  9 different poets participated, creating Haiku shaped tweets on all different kinds of topics.    You can always see all the tweets on Twitter Search.    But for fun, I’ve included them here to make it more fun.
