Haiku Malpractice

think hard and long
wonder about impact
look for comments

take the afternoon off
read hemingway
(become an errand target)

read about a false friend
feel somehow guilty
ashamed of pretense

write it down
publish
regretful lack of skill

calm down
it's all right
try again - later

aurora - this blog started Jan. 1 as an attempt to get organized (can't keep it all in my head, it seems!). Thank you for pointing out the 'point' form, I guess I'm usually at work during the time of day this was written.

Can really relate to "try again-later", and again, and again, and later. Good poem!

pat - thanks - this is pretty new for me, i normally write memos at work. gaining respect for how much effort goes into poems.
