haiku is happening...

...and we're thinking it may be time for another bookburger haiku contest. In the meantime, our haiku-loving ears perked up when we heard about the upcoming collection Did I Wake You? by Beth Lapides, a comedian, writer, and self-proclaimed Crazy Haiku Chick. There's a bunch of her 5-7-5 poems posted on the site of her publisher, Soft Skull Press...some are quite racy, some are very "showbiz LA person with lots of time and money on her hands" in a way that doesn't really interest us. But we liked these:

Corn or tomatoes?
Can't bear to decide. Nervous
breakdown on aisle nine.

Bad for my skin to
sit in the sun but good to
be kissed by a star.

I love haikus. But this time I won't write one. Because I don't have inspiration.


I had the best inspiration ever last time.
