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.

(my favorite:)

Buying a hybrid
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.

I like the hybrid one. I was just reading online that an early '90s Geo Metro gets the same mileage as a Prius, for for a third of the price... I'm hoping the current fuel scare helps people go back to more efficient car usage.
