Write a Little: Try something new

On Mondays, I want to stretch my writing muscles a little bit. I am going to post my write a little prompt of the week on my Monday post.
Henry David Thoreau said "How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live." So this week go out and try something new and then write about it. If you are proud of your adventurous spirit come let me know what new thing you tried this week.
I tried sushi for the first time this year. My sushi loving husband finally got me to try it and I must say I am hooked, except I still won't eat those little orange fish eggs on top of the sushi or raw eel sushi. Still, I tried the raw tuna and I did not die of food poisoning. Since, I am also experimenting with writing Haiku poetry lately. I'm going to go silly on this writing post and do a sushi Haiku just to see if I can pull it off. Hey if you can write a Haiku about your new thing this week let's see it. Haikus are three lines of poetry. Traditionally the lines have the following syllable rythmn 5/7/5 or short/long/short


colorful fish bites
courageous pops in my mouth
cultural tidbits.

Ok I have definintely read and written better Haikus than that.
