I was following up on Twitter friend Corrie Haffly and came across her Bad Day? Vent with Haiku post. The idea is that when you’re having a bad day, express your pain through the soothing verbal tea that is Haiku. It combines just the right blend of tension with authentic expression, tinged with a responsible amount of subversiveness. And yet…venting through haiku is somehow not mean. Incredible!
Here is a haiku-ization of a client’s email, from her former workplace:
I am quite upset At your stupid, sucky, lame Mickey Mouse product.
It’s just one of several examples. Check it out!

Brilliant! It definitely can defuse the timebomb of crankiness. :)
Here are some of mine based on the last couple of days at work:
What is wrong with you?
It is called a “Ladies’ Room”
And not a Pig Sty
No report for you
Since the network is still down
Ask the I.T. guys
Well, obviously
You did not read the memo
Hahahahaha!
Em: I laughed so hard that the cat fell off my lap. I love the last one :-)
