Triangle - Katharine Weber

Low-grade kindling sparks!
Awful novel burns my eyes,
Cardboard characters.

    idiot blogger
    “kindling” has two syllables
    smoke gets in your eyes

    Damn, she’s right! LOL…I screwed the pooch on that one.

    I have rewritten it, but let the record state I was busted (by the author no less!) for constructing a haiku that only had 4 syllables in the first line. Originally it said: low-grade kindling (4 syllables).

    Hmmmm…perhaps “idiot blogger” is right.

    Insecure Author
    Googling her name and book
    Alas, so quick to judge

  4. Brian Says:

    And yes, I realize I screwed up that last line of the haiku.

  5. Chris Says:

    OK, I keep forgetting to ask you: Did she send you some kind of additional email, or was the mean haiku the sum total of her communication? And, by the way, isn’t a mean haiku oxymoronic?

  6. Chris Says:

    (Oh. Although I do disagree with you about her book.)

  7. Chris Says:

    And, come to think of it, “idiot blogger” is ungrammatical, anyway. “Idiot” is the noun form, not the adjective. Should be “idiotic blogger,” which screw up her whole haiku.
