Haiku in the Loo: September 2007

3 lines to a little miracle

One day, I was cooking bacon. I love bacon. I can't begin to describe how much I love bacon ... all nice and crispy, almost burned. Anyway, I decided that I needed to write a haiku about the bacon. I'm not sure why, and I had to look up the basic concept of a haiku. I still got it wrong. After posting it on my blog, someone pointed out that I couldn't even count seven syllables, only they said it very politely.

Since then I've been quite interested in writing haikus. The thing is, I can't stand poetry in general, but haikus are fascinating. So much perfection in so few lines. They're brilliant!

Me, I'm not so brilliant. I can't take myself too seriously, either, so my haikus may break some cardinal sin of haiku writing, I'm not sure.

That's why I call my blog "Haiku in the Loo." For my fellow Americans, "Loo" means toilet in them thar fancy overseas countries. So the title of my blog is more than just a really impressive rhyme. It's more than something that's super-fun to say. It also is indicative of my haiku writing abilities.

BareMinerals and I don't get along

Stupid swirl, tap, buff
New makeup ruined my skin
Ugly, bumpy face

I fear barn owls

Eerie, scary bird
With a face as white as snow
Barn owl stay away

Hottest temps in San Diego in years, just when I arrive

Sweaty, sticky shirt
Heat wave hits San Diego
Got there just in time

Story of my life, though this was written at the chiropractor recently

How my damn neck hurts!
Headaches plague my existence
Snap! Crack! to wellness
