o! camera phone
nine billion megapixels
that they cannot feel

if they could listen
and not just hear your lyrics
they would understand

i caught you in milwaukee and floated through your too short set. the heat and scenester kids were well worth getting to be there to see you guys. i have been for you for years and just now found the diary. haiku away, i have some back reading to do.

WHALES kill children
They cannot be stopped by man
We need big robots

Despite the fact that the first line is only four syllables, that haiku was quite a hit in our Creative Writing class. I believe it got second place in the UkiaHaiku (it's a palindrome, you see) contest, for that matter.

I'm also against the rise of camera phones.

fantastic idea
it has kept me sane so far
inspired by this

Mr.Cerne said...

I am forced to keep
My words down to seventeen
To write to you, friends

A difficult task,
To write in verse ever terse
To communicate.

I throw my hands up,
Resigned to keep my cpmments
Truly short for you . . .

I give up!!!!

- Frankie

haikus are our friends;
the words in them are shorter.
i hate camera phones.

you know what is fun? image haikus! linking an image to each word. tee hee.

lame entertainment for the semi-computer literate.

A real person
Finds another on the Net...
and yet we don't meet.

You would be a very interesting person to spend time with.

gushing fangirls* may
easily mistake cell phones
for real connection

*may be replaced by "fanboys" as per the reader's preference

amanda, how i
sit and ponder your hatred
for capitialization

did the tall letters
do you harm in a past life?
I thought them harmless

delightful haikus,
though they are, i would miss your
your prose dearly. i love.

Also, did you know this was a haiku...

Dance your cares away
worries for another day
let the music play

But only these words
Have a set of silver wings
To reach the corners.

Saw your show in Denver on Sunday and was so, so happy. Loved the covers, and the originals, and all of it! Absolutely incredible.

And do so many people pass out in your shows? I guess they weren't ready for the intensity.

Hope you come back again and play a real set. With DeVothcKa. Because not only Boston should get that.

cheers xx

I wonder when will be the day I can write on my blog about a fabulous show by The Dresden Dolls.
¿When will you come to Chile?
¿When will I be able to send you both a kiss live?

i adore this haiku...

curved on a couch

Have you ever read a book called A Separate Peace?

For reasons that I can't name, something tells me that you'd like it.

I alsways try to use as much passion as possible when I talk about a book but that's difficult to do over the internet.

Anyway, check it out if you're interested.

Well for you there are
So many fucking comments
One more wouldn't hurt

My sister has been making all her livejournal entries in Haiku form. They are all about how crappy computers can be. Very interesting that you should show an interest in leaving Haiku entries as well...and about technology. How about that.

Amanda,

I think you should take up crocheting. it will give you something to do while you are waiting around in airports and whatnot and also let you express some of your creative side. start very simple...

much love,

~Laura

I miss most of all
When everything was still new
For now, more beer, please.
