Father's Day haiku

According to dictionary.com, a haiku is a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syallables divided into 3 lines of five, seven, and five syllables. In honor of Father's Day, several Facebookers, including two members of The Underground, wrote haiku poems for their fathers on this special day.

"My dad is flying.

On a plane for work today.

I love him always."

- Tiffany Garner

"He gave to us life

And teaches us how to live

Two great gifts treasured."

- Jordan Holmes

"My daddy is great

He taught me how to fish well

And which books are best."

- Jordan Holmes

"I love my father.

He always works very hard.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs."

- Aaron Christensen

"It's not just today

But each and every day

Dads deserve respect."

- Steve Roush

"Dad is my hero

Loving care for my mother

Sweet husband and DAD."

- Gayle Christensen

"Jackie Chan movies

Knives, pens, camping, and surfing

'Hey, pull my finger.'"

- Jordan Holmes

"A quirky humor,

Overshadowed by pure love,

Makes my father great."

- Jessica Turner

Happy Father's Day to you, Dad, and all you other fathers out there, from everybody here at The Underground.

A little post about me - Meet Jordan Holmes

Well, it's a little overdue for me to write this post. I'm Jordan Holmes, and I'll be contributing to this wonderful little blog from time to time. I'm a 26 year old married man, raising 3 kids and attempting to balance school, work, and home life to the best of my abilities. Since spare time is nearly non-existent in my world, I have come to enjoy those things that are duties for a man such as myself; fixing things, cooking, facilitating entertainment for my family, researching impending purchases on the Internet to try and get the best bang for my buck, and so on.

My contributions here will include but will likely not be limited to; food (the stuff i make and/or eat), technology, music, perhaps a little home repair, and the occasional rant about whatever is on my mind. I am generally not the most serious guy, so I will hopefully be able to weave a little humor into my posts so the readers are not completely bored with me. Heck, I'll even take requests if you want. Just shoot me an email or something and I will be happy to respond as long as it is within my intellectual power to do so.

Here's to a happy future of reading and writing!
