My writing group has been experimenting with haikus. Some of mine:
Asshole at Starbuck's
I do not want to discuss
my iBook with you
The fastest way to
prompt a guy's call is to say
I'm over you now
I will not fuck you
if you wear Dockers unless
I am very bored
Straight man please listen
Forego your braided belt and
go to Kenneth Cole
Christy Turlington
has Ed Burn's love but can't have
Nutella on toast
Natalie Merchant
Please crack a smile and don't sing
about Osama
By 2005
Jennifer Aniston will
have purchased us all
My downstairs neighbor
thinks he's an artist but he's
just boozy and loud
Passive agressive
people suck lots of ass and
hopefully die young
Dear Bono please know
I am a double D and
must lie down a lot
My last date despised
Elvis Costello so I
won't return his calls
