Vent Through Haiku!

POSTED 05/02/2007 UNDER Being Positive

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!
