At work today

My boredom is stunning. Wow! I've never felt quite this shockingly dulled!

So, I ask you to send me a Haiku. Make this Haiku about your respect for this blog. If you do so, I shall be overwhelmington. The joyfulness will strike me like Mjolnir. I will weep and beg for less happiness because it is driving me batsh*t insane.

You cut my eyes out,
Gobble, gobble, gobble, yum.
The iris tastes good.

Freeman said...

HOLY OUCH BATMAN!

Zack Calhoon said...

The new lily sinks.
Goodbye to youthful lovers.
Old age sets in fast.

Matt Freeman, writer.
Matt Freeman, superhero.
Matt Freeman, blogger.

Blogging at your job
Re: how bad you are at it...
A bad idea.

Anonymous said...

I read in secret
daily, wondering how I
can make you like me.

Freeman said...

Dear Lord! My shame is overwhelming!

David Johnston said...

I am told to write
haiku for Matt but I
do not like the form

Matthew Trumbull said...

Blogger--your feelings
are not in this blog enough.
Who has betrayed you?

Anonymous said...

I agree with Kyle.
Did Good Shepherd teach you nil?
I heart rent money.

Matthew Trumbull said...

Ruhl--ubiquitous
Name. Is it one syllable,
Or two. Isherwood?

Daily I plot how
I can destroy
Matt Freeman utterly

Star Wars. Transformers.
Double-u double-u E.
My prince is a geek!

Qui Nguyen said...

I suck at haikus
I always use too many
words, but I agree that . . . DAMMIT!

Jaime said...

Soothing color scheme
Prevents my eyes from burning.
I appreciate.

Freeman said...

High praise, Jaime. High praise indeed.

I'll take it.

LBM said...

I leave on a plane
Christmas, my destination
but might be delayed


i might not be witty enough today to participate....

Anonymous said...

I do not take part
But syllable check the rest
What does that make me?

Philucifer said...

All are done by noon.
What? No afternoon haiku?
You lazy bastards.

My students; ATL - you
Did not seek Brown or write
Baltimore Waltz.

Jaime said...

Paula, normally
so lucid, but what the fuck
does that last one mean?

"ATL?" Actors Theatre
of Louisville? I
still can't parse the rest.

Anonymous said...

Listen, Jaime. I'll still win a five-figure fellowship for that haiku, whether you parse it or not. I'm Paula Vogel, dammit.

Jaime said...

Paula yelled at me.
But still, her recognition -
Long sought, fin'ly mine.

Merry Xmas, Matt.
Come to the Magic Woods.
We hunt for sprites.

clop,clop...clop,clop

Anonymous said...

The Disapproving Centaur only had four syllables in his last line. The one before the "clops". 'Sprites', unlike 'Spirits' is only one.

What can I say? I get all red-pen schoolmarm when it comes to Haiku. I don't know why. It is a sad compulsion.

Jamespeak said...

Hey there, Fancy Pants.
I'm sorry I missed your show.
Please do not beat me.

Boredom strikes the man
Winter of the blogging soul
Freeman! Free Thyself!

Joshua James said...

Lonely is the man
Who asks, nay, who just demands
our adoration

Freeman said...

So very true.
