Haiku, the Japanese Monster
Haiku! Haiku!
For some reason, the thought of running down the street and shouting this makes me laugh. This may have something to do with the fact that I also picture a huge Godzilla like monster stomping down the street after me reciting poetry about lotus blossoms. But that's probably just me.
Anyway, I've read some awesome stuff lately that you must check out if you want to be as KEWL as me. Or you could like, exist. Because that pretty much describes my kewlness level right there.
Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd by Holly Black and Cecil Castellucci
Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman
Hoot by Carl Hiaasen

Adults go poof; kids rule all.
This should be a film.

Lol, running down the street and shouting Haiku! Haiku! Only would it sound like sneezing? (Go ahead, say it out loud twice and see what I mean)
personally, I dream about a huge Godzilla like monster stomping down the street after me reciting poetry about lotus blossoms all the time. That may even be in a dream analysis web=site. somewhere. Or maybe I dreamed it.
Awesome book Haikus.
I must check them out right now.
Or else I might blaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
See. I can do Haikus too. Why am I not published?
