Dear internet, loyal haiku-ers, and those who have just stumbled on this by pure chance,
Hi. We really need to have a talk... and it's gonna be one of those talks that's really awkward, and we'll sit on the couch and you'll hold my hand and be like, "Baby, what's wrong?" And then I'll look at you, and I'll shake my head and look back down at the ground and I'll say quietly, "You know what's wrong." And then you'll say, "Baby, I can explain..." And maybe you can. Maybe you have some really good reason as to why you haven't sent us any haikus in the past two months, but I don't wanna hear it. I try and I try and I don't get anything back. All sorts of pop stars who sing about being empowered tell me that I don't have to put up with you and your fickle ways, but... I really thought we had something... I mean we made beautiful haikus for so many months and now...
I just want a little love, a little attention, a haiku now and then. Is that so much to ask? Haikus are the fuel of this relationship, and the spark... and the combustion engine that keeps our haiku project running.
Please please please send us haikus. We really need them. We need pictures and words to go with them and if you don't want to put them together we will... but we still need your submissions, without them, life is just a little more grey. We miss you. I miss you. Please baby... come back...
Love,
The Haiku Project
