Haiku is a very
novel form of
expression that, although
quite old, can be still be used easily (perhaps
too easily) by just about anyone. In fact, my favorite haiku of all time comes from a student of
Billy Collins, the current
Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress (
yeesh, what a
title). Mr. Collins was listening
idly to a conversation between
a couple of girls from his
English class when he heard the following:
I told her and she
Was like, "oh, my god," and I
Was like, "oh, my god."
Inadvertant art is the best.
