So... I guess you know that you truly have some yamato damashi in you when you start haiku-ing without realizing it.
From an email I wrote today:
Sooo hungry...
No breakfast or snack today,
Just a bowl of snot.
As an explanation, three of my friends didn't make it to work today - nasty stomach bug going around - so I didn't take any breaks with them down in the cafe like I often do. I also had kind of a small lunch today, with the most eventful part of it being a little bowl of grated nagaimo - a type of potato which, when grated, produces a viscous slurm the consistency and color of mucus. As a result I'm much more hungry than usual at this time of day.
And as a pronunciation note, the word "sooo" has to be pronounced emphatically, so that the listener can really feel the three syllables "So-o-o".
After I sent that email, I realized that I had inadvertently composed a haiku!
Evidently I got my wabi-sabi workin' and my wa be flowin' yo.
