I was on chauffeur duty for my daughter at a JLS concert last night. Whilst waiting outside, the following cruel yet accurate haiku came to me:
Flightless moths wobble
their way, to the bright white light
of the burger van.
I sent this to a friend on Facebook and within about 20 minutes it had been scooped up on to the "Haiku In English" website, without so much as a word from them. It was as if they have a haiku harvesting device primed to gather in anything written in 17 syllables.
I'm not exactly devastated by this to be honest, just somewhat taken aback. They did at least have the decency to identify me as the author. Just hope I don't become the target of any cheeseburger guzzling JLS enthusiasts.
