Vent Through Haiku!

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!
