Haiku You

jocose · Dec 8, 2005

we all mourn our own way
At NASA we mourn next month
Sadness is human

Mourning can be good
It's how we remember folks
and the gifts they shared

In Hebrew it's called
Yartziet and it's done yearly
Don't forget the dead

"Beware of sadness"
(From a George Harrison song)

It can consume you

Yartziet sounds lovely
A wonderful tradition
To honor loved ones

It is interesting
Kadish, the prayer we say then
Never mentions death

It's really designed
to help the living endure
the space that's left void

It's funny that way

Funerals for the living
For the dead don't care

With all Darin's hype
Can't wait to make 500
Can I spam like him?

terri · Dec 8, 2005

Haiku isn't spam!
Just keep going like you are
10K in no time! :mrgreen:

Now it's less solemn
Too many haikus on death.
It's better this way.

Has anybody
Seen the movie Spinal Tap?
If not, you need to.

jocose · Dec 8, 2005

If you liked that flick
And God Spoke, The making of
Should be your next choice

I am on NetFlix
The Fifth Element is here
So that's for tonight

boss is back today
we thought she'd be gone all month
there's much sadness here

Netflixers unite!

MMMMM Angelina
It's those lips I can't resist

I've seen Spinal Tap!
It was a long time ago
I've forgotten much.

Today's our party
So little fun it in all
There's no excitement

Why can't they pretend
Just a little fun won't hurt
No one here smiles

Since the boss is back
we will hold our meeting
Cannot miss a week

NASA would shut down
If we once missed a meeting
Or the world might end
