Winter haiku

Window frozen stiff
Need to push frame hard to shut
[line deleted 'cause would be too utterly gruesome for lovers of fingers]

Just so long as it isn't "fingernail fell off"...

Though one of the fingernails
With dark splotch beneath)

Weird, I've been meaning to write a few haikus today that end in "And Britney Spears songs."

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

We were very young
Station wagons, dangling feet
And Britney Spears songs

This is way too sentimental. More like:

We were very drunk
Several pizzas, empty cups
And Britney Spears songs

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking of earlier Britney Spears songs than you are, before being very drunk was much of an option. And actually I think I'm conflating this memory (c. 2000, or maybe '99, of me hanging out the back of a station wagon as it rolled through my neighborhood, admiring my dangling feet) with a different song, that Train "Drops of Jupiter" song.

Which doesn't change the fact that your haiku is better than mine.

Okay, going back earlier:

Feel inferior:
long-legged Delia's models
and Britney Spears songs.

Kinda sorta blue
Dizzy, dancing to the moon
And Britney Spears songs

We grew up so fast
Trawling clubs for boys, booze, drugs
And Britney Spears songs

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Fuuuuck, getting out-haiku'd over here...

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

Oh god, Taco Bell
(Combination Pizza Hut)
And Britney Spears songs.

[edgeofwhatever.livejournal.com]

Things we all know, like
the alphabet, McDonald's
and Britney Spears songs.

"Stop winning!" he screamed.
"I always win, like cheaters
and Britney Spears songs."

Not my fault I write
haikus like Ashlee Simpson
and Britney Spears songs.

(Meaning: I'm awesome,
the Kara DioGuardi
of the haiku form.)
