Narbonic/It haiku
Partially in response to Marie's comment/request from last week, asking for more poetry (and partially "for completeness sake" - see below - and to get it up while it has actuality in the Narbonic reruns), I decided to publish this:
Dave's hair is now not butchy
January style-change
Helen's has changed too
It is a contribution, I believe, to the second Narbonic haiku-off. It didn't make it into the comic, perhaps because it isn't 5-7-5 or because I got three others published there which were perhaps considered better. And for some reason I didn't quote it in this post, which lists my contributions to Narbonic. Thus it has until now only been available to the readers of the narbonic mailing list. The haiku is based on this one -
Your hair is winter fire,
January embers
My heart burns there, too.- from Stephen King's It, also quoted and discussed here.
With that, I say "auf Wiedersehen". Marie, I think I'll be able to put together something new in one of the following weeks (this is from early 2002), but I hope this suffices 'til then.
