History in haiku:
The American saga, seventeen syllables at a time

Walking from Asia / A hunter, a tribe, a clan / Into a new world. (First arrivals, c. 15,000 BC)

The Norsemen sail west / For fish, grapes, a plot of ground / Then sail east again. (Newfoundland, c. 1000 AD)

The white ships appear / The bearded ones come ashore / Who the hell are they? (Columbus, 1492)
