Wednesday, February 4: Reader Submission

Today's reader submission comes from Norman, who was basically on haiku fire:

Often when I speak
I upset someone when I
only want to play.

This is more fun than
writing short blurbs on facebook
that don't mean a thing.

Only yesterday,
I couldn't spell Haiku, but
today I am one.

The Haiku rockstar's
tour bus is filled with girls and
imagination.
