In Laurie's Brain - More Haiku

Suicidal Woman
Idiot woman,
Must you walk down the up ramp?
I will soon crush you.

Shopper's Lament
Oh, short check-out line,
You cruelly beckon to me.
Price check makes me weep.

Copy Boy's Pain
Crappy copier,
You jam when I need you most.
Your metal guts suck.

Beach Road Blues
Highway 1-2-4,
I follow your white line south.
The Gulf waits for me.

Pelicans
Watch the pelicans
As they gracefully fly by.
My soul flies with them.

  1. I love Haiku and yours are great!

    I'm trying out Bloglines...you mentioned in a comment on Grimm's blog that you use it. I added you!

  2. Read Laurie's writings
    Laugh until my bald head hurts
    Then post bad comment.

    Maybe I do have a knack for this.

  3. Love it! I'm particularly fond of "Shopper's Lament" - how true it is.

    (btw, I'm a fellow native Texan and tequila enthusiast!)

  4. (Insert the sound of clapping) You are very, very good at haiku. And a very nice person for not changing the POV and thus the title of the first one to 'Homicidal Woman.' :)

  5. Very nice. I especially like "Suicidal Woman" and "Beach Road Hwy".

  7. Once again.. "In Laurie's Brain" can be a dangerous place to be.

  8. Nothing to say here.
    I'll just be moving along.
    I can't write Haikus.

  10. Epitaph for Deleted Comment

    Wrong symbols I used
    HTML fu is weak
    This perhaps is right?

    I have no bread, but I have

  11. Leslie - Thanks! I have both you and Grimm on there. It makes it a lot easier to keep up with my favorites. You guys are already two of my favorites.

    Grimm - Hahahaha! That's great!

    Kelley - ((toasting with Cuervo)) Howdy, Kelley!!

    Serena Joy - Whenever I can, I try to hide my homicidal tendencies. You saw right through that though, didn't you, my pretty?

    La Sirena - Thanks!

    Cindy - Thanks! By the way, I don't get a holiday Monday. Enjoy yours though ((sneering)).

    Peter - I'm okay as long as there are pelicans about.

    Jack - Yeah, I have the same problem with limericks. :)

    Jack (part 2) - Hahahahaha! Now, you can write haiku, too? Crap. I thought I at least had one thing on you.

    P.S. I know where you can get some Alka Seltzer. Not that I encourage that sort of behavior, you understand.
