Pink Shoe Haiku

Someone's Being Subtle:

2006-06-25T10:11:00.000-07:00

I lent my camera to Deanna so she could take a picture at work. When I get it back, I find this:

The original "manuscript" (should it be "post-it-script"?) of the zombie haiku I wrote for her back in October.

Maybe I should get back to haiku'ing...

And Take the Baby With You When You Run!!

2006-04-20T21:03:00.000-07:00

Katie Holmes - poor girl
she should break free from Tom Cruise
and his craziness.

1 Stubbed Toe Too Many:

2006-03-19T07:45:00.000-08:00

I keep hurting my
toes and I wish I could stop
but I'm such a klutz.

Confession

2006-02-28T19:34:00.000-08:00

Didn't mean to, but
it's happened: I've become a
SuDoku addict

It's true

2006-02-24T05:46:00.000-08:00

yes, I can bust out
haiku at the drop of a
proverbial hat

Television Haikus

2006-02-20T18:04:00.000-08:00

My friend Kat did a Gray's Anatomy haiku.

So I'm writing one about 24. Because it's on right now, and it's so damn awesome.

24

He says "There's no time!"
Chloe smirks, CTU's dumb
Jack Bauer kicks ass!!!

Put up your own TV haiku, and I'll link to you, too.

Starbucks

2006-01-31T19:45:00.000-08:00

Our boss at work bought my entire team Starbucks today.

JulieDooley, in appreciation of her Ginger Spice Latte, sent me a haiku for all of you:

Elixir of life
Caffeinated happiness
Coffee, sweet coffee.

My Soy Chai inspired one, too:

Delicious, spicy,
Warm, creamy two buck spike in
Job satisfaction

love

2006-01-26T05:42:00.000-08:00

just a little word
spoken with truth, intensely
it can change the world

Flowers

2006-01-14T21:48:00.000-08:00

I can't throw them out
even though they shed petals
all over the floor

Matt's Birthday TODAY!

2006-01-05T08:36:00.000-08:00

What do I get him
for his birthday? Already
he has me - enough?

"Holiday Cards" at Work

2005-11-28T12:49:00.000-08:00

My hand will fall off
if I have to sign any
more damn Christmas cards!

This one looks funny because "if I" and "to" are such short words for 1 syllable and "christmas" is so long for only 2 syllables, but... I promise it's 5-7-5, and I promise it's really true. My hand feels like it's going to fall off.

Thanksgiving Weekend Open Thread

2005-11-22T15:45:00.000-08:00

I know many of you have witty and enlightening haikus in your heads, just waiting to get out, but I don't haiku prolifically enough for you. I'm sorry.

My big problem is that I come up with fabulous haikus just as I'm about to get up in the morning or just as I'm falling asleep. And by the time I get around to writing them down, they're gone. Like yesterday, I wrote this fabulous haiku about how I had this dream that the Husband was going hunting, and if the Husband wanted to remain in a matrimonial state with me, he would not do that. But it disappeared. And, frankly, that's not a very good haiku subject.

But to make up for that, I'm inviting you to write your very own haiku this week. Thanksgiving themed or otherwise. And we can all chat about them.

So, dear reader, please haiku. For my enjoyment.

Ellen leaves us

2005-11-15T09:08:00.000-08:00

She leaves to freelance
We should be so lucky but
We’re still here, sucking.

Bear hibernation
is very funny to see
they claw in their dreams

please please stop hurting

Odes to Elizabeth's Head Trauma

2005-11-02T20:51:00.000-08:00

Attempt #1

Like Lucy on ER
Attacked by a patient - NO!
However, Liz Lived.

Attempt #2

A concussion from a
patient? Best doctor ever!
only a head wound.

On Realizing I Did Not Stop at Squirmy's Grave When I Passed it Friday Night

Noisy Neighbor

2005-10-24T08:18:00.000-07:00

like a homeless cat
that keeps aimlessly mewling
they just won’t shut up
