The exercise:
Write two haiku about: the quitter.
Ugh. That is all for today's health updates.
Back to the bakery tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed I manage to get a decent sleep tonight.
Mine:
The going got tough.
He didn't care for that much,
so he got going
* * *
Each roll of the dice
seems to go in your favor.
You're cheating. I quit.
I'm guessing that the shorter the update the less sleep you had, so I hope that tomorrow's health update requires a separate post because of its length :)
ReplyDeleteI like your second haiku better today for its last line especially! I also like your clever letter-omitted acrostic, though "THiS EaSY" seems like boasting a little :)
The quitter
Gravediggers who quit
In the graves they are digging
Very seldom leave.
-------
Every day I quit...
Until lunch. Quitting takes Will-
Power I don't have.
It's so very hard
ReplyDeleteI just cannot possibly
Manage it, I quit!
I will not do it
You can't make me and I won't!
I quit, forever.
Greg - yes, that would have been nice :P
ReplyDeleteHah, hadn't noticed the almost acrostic. I can only wish I'd done that on purpose!
Really, really like your first :)
Morganna - heh, I like the finality of the final line in your second haiku. I appreciate that kind of commitment to quitting :D
