It’s Hawku week

Get your blue and green on! We all know what week it is - especially if you happen to live in Hawkuiam. You have to appreciate the spirit Jack Durney, mayor of Hoquiam — excuse me, that is, Hawkuiam this week — for his town spirit. In our neck of the wooded Washington state, colors are flying over both harbors and spirits are high. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know well that the home team is once again in the championship.

It is all anyone talked about last week. Grab your blue and green and pull out your pen, because this section is not to be overlooked by any of the others. And just for the record, did you see the blue and green food section way back in November? Time to pull out those recipes again, because you can’t get enough blue and green on your buffet table.

Way back here in the C section, we are not to be outdone. We have two surprises for you in the next two editions. Make that three. I can only tell you about the third one. Haiku, excuse me, HAWKU! We are on the same page, Jack.

Send us your Hawku and we will publish it in the next two editions of the C Section. Be quick! Get it in early. We will start publishing in Thursday’s edition and publish the rest on Saturday, just in time for the big game so you can read them to your friends and family when you mute the TV after tiring of the same Super Bowl ads.

To get you all started, I asked friend of mine, Claudia Wohlfeil, of Pullman, a serious Hawk fan and bookstore manager, to get one started for us.

I think she nailed it.

Now remember a traditional Haiku must be three lines. Each line has to have the appropriate amount of syllables. It can either be 3-5-3 or 5-7-5.

I realize you only have a few days, but c’mon! the Seahawks had but 5 minutes to make history.

You can do it. Heck, it is the least you can do for your team. Let’s see your spirit.

Here’s another by C. W.:

We don’t need to cheat

By deflating our footballs

Seahawks are the best

Both the above had the 5-7-5 rule. You can make your’s shorter by using the 3-5-3 rule. If you have questions, you are welcome to email me. Here’s one from me:

I could not believe

seeing the score third quarter

Sad. But then, amazed!
