The Age-Old Custom

Adat Perpatih
Exists only in Nine States
Minangkabau roots

Rains did not spoil it
Nor did hot sun whither it
Held dear by Elders

Not to be displaced
Nor it to be demolished
Till Eternity

Grand haiku set! I like it! You're utilizing the arsenal within you fully now! The pull of the latent talent is hard to resist! Great!

Just follow a good leader, Hal and you will be there. I am beginning to see enthusiasm.
