Agile Haiku Poem
by Kelly Waters, 22 July 2011 | Lean Development
Someone sent me a Haiku poem earlier today. It was nothing to do with agile, but it inspired me to write a Haiku poem of my own. I don’t know why. I guess I was just having a creative moment! Here it is:
Mostly,
more or less,
less is more.
Simple.
I hope you like it, but I don’t think I’ll be giving up my day job to become a poet just yet!
Kelly.
haikus are usually
five seven five – but in agile,
requirements do change
Is it simple? :)
I never said I was an expert in Haiku! :)
I read on Wikipedia that there are lots of variations of Haiku, so they don’t always stick to that pattern. Also read that 4 line Haiku is a common variation. Maybe I could try writing it in a more traditional Haiku style –
Mostly, more or less,
Less is almost always more,
Simple if you can.
How’s that?
Kelly.
