Bad Haiku
Horrible poetry for the digital age
29 Years, 318 Days and 78440 Haiku later...
bitter tears splatter.
belief can only endure
first ten minutes each day.

I think I will drink
alone this saint paddys day
avoid amatuers

charges, cover bands
in faux irish pubs, too clean.
plastic ferns on walls.

I guess it's a sign
that I am a closet alky

To a giant stick insect.
