As part of our effort to keep our creativity flowing, and in honor of National Haiku Day, the Lilja team completed a staff haiku exercise this week.
Topics included the personal challenges of COVID-19, from children running around upstairs to the unique perspectives of our four-legged coworkers — and even snow in April. For those of you who’d like to try it, the haiku format is simple:
5 syllable line
7 syllable line

If you're feeling intimidated, don't be! Two Lilja team members (who forgot about the assignment) wrote their haikus on the fly!
Here are selections from the team.
Alicia
Two Conference Calls
In the same house, the same time
Why is he so loud?
My cat is over
me being home all the time
She's sick of my face
Erica
Our lives post-COVID Deep breaths in and out each day Anticipation
Kate
Boom, boom, boom, bam, bam! Sounds vibrate above my head Take a deep breath, peace
Lauren
Oh, Minnesota Why do you always do this? No snow next April.
Linda
Wild and graying locks frame a careworn face as dreams of color linger
When was the last time that you danced with abandon? Zoom dance party now!
Mary
Cat in warm sunshine
Shaped like an apostrophe
Serene coworker
