Haiku

I wrote one in Slovak and am terribly proud of myself.

Hurá, jar je tu!
Lesy sú plné kvietkov
A tiež medveďov

which of course means

Hurray, spring is here!
The woods are full of flowers
And also bears

Only one line of this is true. Of course, now that I think of it it should say "The trees are full of skulls," but I don't yet know the word for skulls.

Great Haiku!!! I miss writing poetry with you...remember that long train ride to romania.

I looked up lebka and decided I didn't like it enough to put it in a haiku.

Of COURSE I remember. That was like a year ago, can you believe it?

Love it! Especially the part where I'm not really mentioned, but sort of feel mentioned.
