my subconscious sings in haiku
Maybe something in me knows that it’s Poetry Month again. I took a nap this afternoon and dreamed a complicated dream about impossible computer problems, and somehow getting a prompt for a machine I didn’t know existed, and then accidentally posting a very long, dull session transcript to somebody’s livejournal… etc. One of the readers of that livejournal chided me in a set of three haiku, which I thought was so charming that I in turn apologized in haiku.
What gets me is that the only one I remember is actually in 5-7-5 form:
In this floating world
Nothing is ever certain
Save computer bugs.
Thank you, subconscious mind!

LOL. It’s even good haiku!
I wish I had the ability to dream in haiku.

Hee hee.
For a while at Omni (in the good ole days) we all had to give our status reports in arbitrarily-assigned restricted form (specific poetic forms, fixed number of words, imitating Yoda, etc.). I had a lot of fun with the haiku reports.
