Oh dear, too late. Too little too late; a day late and a dollar short. The story of my life summed up right there. I'm sorry, it seems I've taken your misfortune and make it about me. I had a client who was so good at this she made it an art form. Here's one particularly amusing example: Dawn: "Something terrible happened to me at the grocery store yesterday." Me: "What happened?" Dawn: "I was standing in line to cash out and the guy in front of me punched the cashier in the face." Me: .gif "Say What?") Me: "That must have been horrible for you. More so perhaps for the cashier?" Dawn: "I was shaking all night. And I had to wait forever to pay for my groceries." |

Haiku from customer service
The bills went unpaid Yet, when the lights did go out They were still surprised |

Not a Haiku
Heart ripped out, arteries
Hanging by a thread Blood pooling on the floor Soul vacant, trust gone Sadness moved in No room for anything else

Gogyohka:
• 5 lines of free verse • No set syllable pattern • Short & succinct lines, governed by the duration of a single breath • Captures an idea, memory, observation or feeling in a few compelling words I bet we can have some fun with this...  Example: Sole commander of my ship with the flow I go and the pen is my alter-ego. by Ruth Berdah-Canet |

I tried to write a good Gogyohka...but this happened instead:
Near the shoreline I will go To be near the magnificence of Mother Where the pounding of waves Reminds, that like patterns in sand, most slates wipe clean Though some, May require the power of repetitive rinsing… |
