I Sweat Haikus

Wednesday, June 08, 2005 5 comments
And by "sweat" I mean, "crush". I crush on haikus, this is no secret. I screwed up the one I wrote last night, but fixed it. Here's a tip for all you aspiring haiku writers: If you're a syllable short, throw a swear word in! Works like a charm!

I feel compelled to share a haiku which was sent to my work email by one Meghan Grandolfo of Los Angeles, California. She is in the early stages of quitting sugar. I'm sure you all remember how crazy I was, so her passion will not surprise you.

Just a little backstory, Meghan is originally from Chicago, which is the Candy Capital of the World. Meghan luuuuuuuuuurvs candy. When we lived in Europe, she got candy in every city we went to. And she never gets cavities! BITCH!

Anyway, here's her awesome haiku. In her words, "My first haiku since like the 4th grade. Not bad if you ask me...."

It's called EVERYONE EATS THE GUMBALLS BUT ME!!!

Round Shiny Balls of
Colors, Beauty & Delight
LAUGHING IN MY FACE

    I KNOW! :`(

    I told her it only lasts for a couple weeks, though. Then she'll just be used to the deprivation, like me.

    It would be easier to sympathize if her haiku wasn't about "Round balls of delight in my face."

    R to the D! I am DISAPPOINTED! I thought for SURE you'd be all over that first! I was actually surprised MFDC was up early enough and beat you to it.
