crap
Because I am busy and/or stupid, I wrote a couple of "haikus" (conforming to bastardized English basic 5-7-5 structure but pretty much nothing else of traditional Japanese poetry) for an agency-wide contest, then missed the deadline to submit them. The theme was "promoting environmental awareness". Lest they languish forever in well-deserved obscurity, here they are.
Inconvenient Truths
Sidle closer every time
Someone looks away.
Tomorrow's news flash:
Water now a privilege -
Less at eleven.

Does not make you exempt from
Picking up your trash.
(bonus! extra-hippie-dippy:)
Teach your children well:
Be tough, clean, and generous.
Earth will do the same.
