Haikus About California From Concord, Nearby Patch Towns

CONCORD, CA — Patch called on our readers to channel their inner creativity for National Haiku Day and they did not disappoint.

We asked our followers on Facebook to send us their best haiku about California. Remember the format is 5-7-5, meaning the first line has five syllables, the second line has seven and the third line has five.

Here are some of our favorites from Concord and nearby Patch towns:

Expensive and hot.

Housing is crazy, yowza!

Mom, trying to thrive.
