So I wrote my single theme-related poem. I liked it enough. Perhaps worth tinkering with. But, then I turned to the serious business at hand, catching up on the side project. I started. The first few haiku are always slower, and I re-read the last few to get back in the story line. Soon I was a handful away from being caught up. I was tempted to keep going but I did not. I wrote a few miscellaneous and unrelated haiku and one chuck norris haiku, just for old times’ sake. <\/p>\n
What I found most interesting about writing the 30 or so for the side project is that a few in – there on the path laid a plot twist. What can you do? Apparently I can’t even stay in charge when the work is seventeen syllables at a time. <\/p>\n
I should go back to the NaNoWriMo project where all hell was breaking loose for the main male protagonist. Did I really intend to leave him sweating and shaking in his boots until I caught up with haiku? That seems rather cruel.<\/p>\n
Oh well, sorry Matt! Here are the last random haiku of day 17.<\/p>\n
if gnomes were helpful
\nI would admire their housework
\nas though it was art.<\/p>\n
Perhaps my trash cans
\nare too tall for nearby gnomes
\nI’ll take out the trash.<\/p>\n
Dear gnomes, i’d please you
\nif you could just tell me where
\nto find gnomish mops<\/p>\n
In other worlds they bow
\nand worship at the altar
\nthat is Chuck Norris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
