Practical Haikus

Ordering a Pizza for Delivery

By Grant Miller, Poet

Look at the menu
Before you call them or else
I'll get all apeshit

Buying Car Insurance
By Grant Miller, Poet

I dunno. I've used
The same insurance guy for
like 20 years now.

Vacuuming
By Grant Miller, Poet

Make the lines real straight
That's all that matters - straight lines
Leave shoes by the door

When Should My Daughter Begin Dating?
By Grant Miller, Poet

Really, It Depends
Is she ready for that yet?
30 or so works.

Like mowing the grass, the lines always need to be straight.

Thank you Grant Miller for straightening out your readers.

I'm 35, and I never should have started dating...

Dear Grant Miller:

The second line in the first haiku is only six syllables.

Sincerely,
The Haiku Police

I truly hope that one day we'll be treated to a published release of "An Anthology of Practical Haikus by Grant Miller, Poet".

SO useful, esp the first one, cause that idiot that stands in line for 10 mins and still doesn't know what he wants, makes me wanna go tribal on him....

Haiku poems are my favorite because they don't even have to rhyme!
