one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish
So, sadly the haiku that I've posted so far have not been my own. Sorry for any confusion. "today's haiku" was written by another co-worker, Kris. But, for your reading pleasure, I posted a few below - the first one I wrote about a month ago about someone I met on a plane. The next two I just came up with - that's the beauty of haiku. It can make a poet out of you! (yes, I hear the groans)--------------------------
Pittsburgh to Indy
A chance meeting on a plane
Say 'Hello', 'Goodbye'
--------------------------
Digging yourself out
Muscles ache, breath is frozen
Snot drips from my nose
--------------------------
Deep breath to your core
Swallow hard, can there be more
The ache is intense
--------------------------
I love haiku. I could go on forever. Try it! It's just five syllables, seven, and then five again.
I'm convinced that the current best song for me to journal, dream and "think" to is Jeremy Enigk's "Burn" off of his latest album, World Waits. It's so beautiful...mysterious...it's one of those songs that grabs you in the beginning with it's quiet piano and haunting vocals and makes you want to stop and look into your soul...and then it goes into this driving rhythm...and honestly, it ultimately leads me to worship Jesus. It's amazing. And I have no idea what he's singing about because I can't find the lyrics anywhere on the internet!! Talk about frustration. Aren't you supposed to be able to find whatever you want on the internet? haha ...ooo, it just finished for the fifth play...time to start it again...
So, if anyone out there has the lyrics, would you be so kind as to send them to me? I bought the album off of eMusic.com so I don't have the little booklet.
Time for bed. It's crepes tomorrow!

I really like the haiku about snow and winter. We are digging out from a big snowstorm here in Central NY State,too.
I understand what your saying Rebecca.
They do come from different cultures.
you said even if the scripts were the same they would be different, this is true.
The Pilot episode of the American Office is nearly identical to the original office.
The two shows have a totally different feel.
You can tell right away just from the intro's to the shows.
The BBC seems more like a documentary...and seems actually more realistic.
But that's part of what makes the American version funnier...the fact that they are constantly crossing the line and creating awkward situations.
I may be alone in this...but I think that Jim from the American Office looks a heck of alot like Tim from the UK version.
I am personally more of a fan of the American version. I have seen all of the UK version episodes, and I thought those were hilarious as well.
But sometimes I feel like people try to like the UK version more then US version just so they can say that they were fans of the Office before everyone else was. They also will usually claim that "Americans stole from the British..." and so on.
I'm just glad that there is a show like The Office on TV right now....it gives me something to look forward to during the week.
...you can only watch reruns of Seinfeld for so long
I tried Google searching the lyrics...but no luck.
It's a pretty cool song however.
It seems like music that comes from Seattle is brilliant.
Very good Haikus girl...I would try to think of something witty to say but I am tired at 12:08 and need to go to bed....
I must attempt to write a haiku and post it for you!
:) Have a good weekend!
Actually I think I could picture you zipping around on a Vespa! :)
Sleep well!
St Louis, Misery is definatley the coldest place I've lived. Well, I lived in CO, but that was during the summer...
