Haiku: My Feeble Efforts

For some reason I decided to find out about haiku poetry here today. Here are the attempts I made, based on things that I saw in the afternoon.

Comfortable quilt -
Warm sunshine being enjoyed
By the little cat.

Little frog is still;
The long shadow has covered
Quiet garden pond.

Airplane overhead;
The clear blue sky is above
Returning to peace.

Flogged the old banger

Unexpectedly sold my battered, 12 year-old Volvo 340 this weekend for £130, proving that I was right not to accept the £50 I was effectively offered for it as a trade-in on my new car. Pleased with the result, although not so pleased that an acquaintance belatedly revealed that he is a car dealer and could have negotiated around another £1000 off the price of my new car than I ended up paying. Oh well, perhaps this will inspire me to write a guide entry on negotiating with car dealers...

I need a proper job!

Two months out of university, and I've been temping for the last 3 weeks. MS Excel has now lost the precious little charm it had: but what is the alternative?? Is there life after a psychology degree? smiley - sadface

It's over!

Finished my exams, and have disgusted myself with my loss of form - chundered after 4 pints! Changed my h2g2 name to Brother Grã to reflect my meek lifestyle (I don't seem to be able to drink or pull, and I'm poor!)

Passed an exam

Well, probably, which is better than expected. Another week to go... any bored experts on computational accounts of visual perception should feel free to leave me their contact details smiley - winkeye
