Because actual updates are still beyond me

** **
Stop falling, you rain.
Stripey blue socks with no shoes
and you don't mix well.
**
Goat cheese for each meal,
with apples and stale baguette,
make a happy Meg.
**

This job is a game,
Pretend to be smarter, yes,
but be a monkey.
**
My trolley lurches,
small girl sings nonsense to me,
birthday balloon bobs.
**
He's a carpenter,
not a help desk guy, he says.
Don't tell his day job.
**
Grad school apps loom big
but there are movies to watch
and boyfriend to hug.
**
Not NaNoWriMo,
These words will decide my life.
No wonder they freeze.
**
Reading Naked Ape
Like watching football, I curse
the stupid ideas.
**
When brunch takes all day,
and migraine pills clench my teeth,
my Sunday is gone.
**
I can't remember
When last I called my parents.
No guilt, just a void.
**
Coworkers tease me:
Am I from New York because
I wear only black?
**
Left S.F. days back.
Didn't leave my heart, but I
left my best friend there.
**
Counting syllables
Makes me forget what I say,
I'm more free this way.
**
Form follows function?
Not in a haiku, my friend,
form counts out my words.
**
Doot doo doo de doo
Tra la la la tra la la
Yodelai-hee-hoo
**
I've no sense of time,
I may cave and buy a watch.
I am yuppie scum.
**
When was the last time
I read a damned newspaper?
I almost miss news.
**
I'm so sorry I
haven't been in touch with you.
Which you? All of you.
**

*trying to interpret*
sad that I'm not doing nanowrimo? I'm not being helpful?
I'm planning on trying to write more, but big book is beyond my brain. I will be as helpful as possible with grad school stuffs. :o)

Your haiku turn the
mundane into the sublime.
Don't LJ-cut them.

The best friend gets all
sniffly, whines and paws at the
blank computer screen.

:) Your haikus are lovely. I'm especially fond of "These words will decide my life. No wonder they freeze."
As well as the yodeling, of course. :)

i think the cliche of all new yorkers wearing only black is a little silly, but you know, nobody will ever tease you or even comment if that is all you wear here.

Mmm, goat cheese with apple and baguette would make a happy Erin too.
