Hopefully my loyal readers have been enjoying the longer entries I've been writing lately. These days, I want to have a little more substance to my posts. None of that single-sentence filler fluff.
But sometimes I have minor thoughts that I'm unable to expound on for a full paragraph. So for those topics, I thought it might be interesting to present them in poem form. Let's start with some haiku. Here's a recap of my week, in 5-7-5 format:
Right around lunch time
Unexpected doorbell ring
You scared me mailman
Grey hair in goatee?
But I'm only twenty-eight
They must be blonde hairs
The news report says
Creepy men lurk on MySpace
My cover is blown
Tax form ten-forty
Subtract line nine from line ten
I owe them how much?!
Rated R movie
The box office lady asked
To see my I.D.
Door to door salesman?
"Salesman" was a cute female
I bought five vacuums

Excerpts from my week:
In Lunar New Year
one eats strange and quirky food
mysterious parts
Firecrackers explode
Lion dancers grace temples
I'll sleep when I'm dead
H5N1 lurks
birds die while locals panic
I still eat chicken

not yet a loyal reader...a few more depreciating remarks about self may get me there ;) all kidding aside, your poetic examples just made me realize haiku is a great way to communicate in a small, compact manner. efficiency. i love it. and here's to describe my post-nap snack:
chocolate covered
Macadamia nut. good.
From Australia

If only everything was recited in haiku form.
I read some haikus.
They made me giggle inside.
Time to lurk Myspace.
Sorry, just wanted to feel creative as well.
