An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
Prodigy gets dumped
by Katherines. What's his deal?
Oh, dingleberries.
Now if you can handle it, just for fun, three more original haikus. These are flashbacks from my late high-school writing period. I wrote 39 in one day. I was at the Governor's School for Humanities in Martin, TN and had a lot of free time. I just picked out 3 of my favorites. Hope you like.
My head is full of
static electricity
untapped potential
My feet are naked
sunning themselves like lizards
on hot desert rocks
Sinister insects
buzz around and land on me,
chew my flesh with glee
Thanks to The Well-Read Child for hosting Poetry Friday today.

These are great! I especially love the "review haiku"!
After looking at A little of this, a little of that, I guess these are really closer to senryu than haiku, but haiku is a more familiar term to most people and conveys the idea of "short w/ specific syllable structure", so I'll probably keep calling them "haiku reviews."
