The crowd is getting restless.
I’m starting to get kind of smarmy responses. People are losing trust. They’re feeling tricked, and vulnerable. I know because they are sending me haikus about their frustrations.
Our Harper’s stats stand strong:
Number of responses: 29
Number of responses en haiku: 22
Number of people who want to know what the hell I’m up to: at least 3
Number of new friends I think I’ve made through this project: at least 4
Number of pervy irrelevant responses: Still just the 1
And, for today’s post:
Mouth’s corners upturned
Sharp elbows, sharp mind, warm soul
I am a giggler

I love the new blog! I’m sorry that you have been having a rough time lately, but I do enjoy reading about your haiku adventures. I missed when you wrote about the pervy irrelevant response – was that in haiku format?

If it’s pervy responses you want, I can supply those handily. But something tells me that’s not what you want, especially not from me.
