Haiku-a-Day Challenge

I was going through some old emails from when I first got gmail and was inundated with tons of emails from my summer after my junior year. Most of the Dodgeball House residents had some intense email correspondence via haiku. Every day. All summer. It was, needless to say, awesome. Here's one of the last messages of the summer, right before our internships ended before school started up again:

Thus ends a summer
of exquisite poetry.
See you at home LOL
-Chris Last day as a GE Intern

As I am wont to do, I just randomly came up with a new challenge for the year, for no reason. To write a haiku per day. My intention is to maybe update my interblag once a week with all of the week's haikus (is it still "haiku" when plural? I don't think I care enough to take the ten seconds and research it). I know, most of you are saying "but Chris lololol, that sounds stupid and I don't think you can do it!" Well guess what. Challenge Accepted. And I'm sure you need some friggn culture in your lives, so get ready to be amazed at the EXTREME shittiness of my poetry skills. Did I mention I took a poetry class at Tufts? Yeah, that was... uncomfortable.


Anyway, here are my haikus from this past week:


Friday 7/8/11
Black hand-print face paint
Capture the Flag was epic
Even though we tied

Caturday 7/9/11
Ate the Vermonster
so much ice cream, so little room
But: hey! Free bucket!


Sunday 7/10/11
Grand trip to Six Flags
Sun poisoning? Possibly.
Awesome? Fucking yes!


Monday 7/11/11
Work and thesising
Two things I'd rather not do
Time for food? Probs not.


Tuesday 7/12/11
Kickball was cancelled
but watched Jurassic Park and
played Ninja instead


Wednesday 7/13/11
Thesis work at Tufts
Definitely sucks big time
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
That's just good poetry right there


Thursday 7/14/11
Butterbeer potlucks?
Dressed as Dementors and Elves?
HP Midnight show!


Friday 7/15/11
Bro-B-Q tonight
Gonna eat ALL the burgers
Red eyes from Xbox

Let's see if I can actually keep this challenge going all year...
