here goes...

Yes, now that all hype and craze over the novelty of the blog has passed, I thought I might dip my tentative toe into the webby pool and wade a bit.  Considering that I use the "notes" feature on facebook more than any other person I know on there, I thought that I might enjoy having a blog.  I don't know that anyone will read this, yet the idea that someone could read it makes it more interesting than simply writing something in word and saving it away in dusty document never to be reopened until you're looking for things to delete to save space.  


Lately I have gotten into writing haikus, hence the title and whatnot.  My haikus are bad.  Quite bad.  Terribly bad really.  I simply strive to find the most obscure, random words to pack those seventeen syllables with as much nonsensicality as possible.  Please allow me to demonstrate.


Nose-scratching stockings
Slither inky pen-blood baths.
Rutabagas bounce.


Please do not mistake my bunkum haikus as attacks on the haiku form.  I have much respect for those who can present complete concise imagery in such a small package.  I simply recognize that I do not at present posses this talent, and instead of giving up all haiku pursuits, I choose instead to embrace my non-talent whole-heartedly.  No offense intended.
