I don’t know how long ago I invented a Twitter hashtag #schoolpickuphaiku
I never intended for it to become a viral meme; I’ve seen other hashtags take on a life of their own (someone will write a thesis about that one day: mark my words) but that wasn’t the point with #schoolpickuphaiku. Sometimes it’s nice to formalise a scene or emotion at a time which can be rushed, stressed, or tedious.

A heavy rainstorm
transforms sandpit toys into
plastic flotillas
(… and forms a pretty cool place to swim…)
