This, apparently / is the motivation that / can get me to write

Summer has arrived,
and World Blog Haiku Day is
upon us again.

It's been several years
since I last made mention of
this holiday here

because, to my shame,
it has repeatedly slipped
my mind completely.

But this year it seems
a miracle has occurred, and
I have found myself

at the computer
and paying attention to
my desk calendar

in what for once was
a timely enough fashion
to enable me

to make this post with
all reasonable dispatch.
And now it's your turn.
