Stress

Posted on September 25, 2011 by marey mercy

Stress

This morning I yelled
At a piece of cheese and knew
I was in trouble

For the prompt, “Amuse,” at One Single Impression. This may be the only amusing poem I’ve ever written. As well as the only haiku.

Haha, wow. Good one. Reminds me of the haikus I wrote in college!

Direct and to the point! I guess a lot of people consider this a Haiku (5-7-5 as opposed to a more strict definition — I guess the “English Language Haiku — though 3-5-3 would be more appropriate in English) but I will take this as just a great short poem! Just one of those great short free verse thoughts!

  I was considering it a haiku, but short poem works too!

Kind of curious to know what offense the cheese gave…

  It would not relinquish its plastic wrapper in a timely manner. Bastard cheese!

Doing something out of the ordinary does give one pause. Yelling at cheese is amusing I would say.
