Haiku for the Hungry: Ofuku–san

Heard a stomach growl...

May I suggest Japanese?

Go to Country Mall

There's Ofuku-san

A worn and faded facade

Treasures hide within

Many moons ago when Ofuku–san was still new

What is a haiku? Haiku is a short form of Japanese poetry consisting of just three lines with 5, 7, and 5 syllables. The other two characteristics of a haiku are kigo (word/phrase that symbolizes the season) and kireji (word that cuts the stream of thought)... both of which I don't know how to apply :))
