Haiku? Gesundheit!

Today I updated my Blogger profile and made it public. One of the interests I listed (along with "hyperventilating") was experimental haiku. Please allow me to share some of this deeply personal and potentially embarrasing work with you.


Why We Write

I like to write a
haiku now and then to pass
the time. Like right now.


Hasselhoff/Marino

David Hasselhoff
and Dan Marino. Could they
be one and the same?


Embarrassing Euphemisms I've Heard

Winkle, Fudge bottom,
Garden hose, Worn-out slinky,
Zing, Radio knobs


Should Have Been a Limerick

There once was a gal
From Nantucket who stuck her
foot in ...oh blimey.


Silent but Deadly

Every nose in the
Room noticed it, though none heard.
That was not from me.
