NaPoWriMo #17: Office Haiku

I think this is the first haiku I've ever attempted to write. I wanted to write a few more, but they didn't quite work out.

Unrelated note, Blogger seems to be showing up some errors tonight. I am dreading the "new look" that's supposed to be coming this month.

Even if Blogger changes it look daily your poems will still be some of my favorites to read!

Thanks Laurie. Decorations lightens the mood. :)

Jannie, thanks for making me smile. :)

I'm worried about ease of formatting mostly -- especially posts where I play with spacing.

You seem born to the form; I look forward to reading more of them from you!

They do indeed...nice haiku. Why don't you join us in HH?

And I never clicked on the new blogger look..I am quite happy with my old look.

Thanks Anna and Grace. I'll try to do more of these. :)

I'm very happy with blogger currently -- other than the comments format, I think it's fine.

fine haiku. They are fun. Really like how you incorporated alliteration into the second line. Great last line, as is a trademark of a good haiku. Thanks

i think you should try more, you're good at this form. haiku is actually pretty hard to write. :)

about the new blogger look, i wonder how it will turn out. let others try it out first. :D

"haiku is actually pretty hard to write. :)"

You are telling me! It's like trying to solve some kind of puzzle fitting the words and lines.

Thanks for the support, guys!
