Every personal email or facebook message I send today (starting now, when I remembered about haiku Thursday) will be in the form of a haiku!
This entry will be edited throughout the day to reflect my poetic genius as it is created. Keep checking back!

...On a technical note, I looked up "Haiku" in wikipedia, and I will be following these rules/guidelines:
- Five, seven, five syllable structure
- "English-language poets often use commas, dashes, elipses, or implied breaks to divide the three lines into two grammatical and imagistic parts. The purpose is to create a juxtaposition, which creates space for an implication as the reader intuits the relationship between the two parts."
- "A haiku traditionally contains a kigo (season word) which symbolizes or intimates the season in which the poem is set with some reference to the natural world."

Haiku: Five, Seven
Five Syllabi. A spring breeze,
A breezy tweeker.

Haiku knows no shame!
Haiku: pounding rain music;
The pavement an amp.

5:30pm:
Email traffic has slowed a bit, so I'm entertaining myself...
At work til seven
Sun still smiling, summer sun -
Why did I come late?
Sink full of dishes
A geyser of gooky grime...
Guess I'll work some more.
6pm:
Subj: omg
Body: You're certifiable. - Michael C. C.
Certifiable:
Beauty of sky, dark of night,
The insane, and me.

A solo haiku
Is eating dinner alone -
Enhanced by a friend.
(Incidentally, my artistic act for yesterday was stolen from a page in Bob's [cook]book: I baked a parmesean-crusted beer bread. Delightful! And sort of cheating, but I didn't have time to write a short story!)
