 I looked up "haiku."
 I have been doing it wrong. 
Wikipedia...

 For proper haiku,
 One must reference nature.
 What is my nature?

 Hokku or haiku?
 One begins sacred writings.
 One prompts sacred thoughts.

 Form requires limits.
 Limitations require rules.
 Rules require breaking.

 Thoughtless action wastes.
 Actionless thought languishes. 
Thoughtfully go act.

Playing entries for the week of March Eleventh, Twenty-Eighteen. Monday. Always question, never settle Seek the best one, test your mettle Don't accept a half-baked answer Antiseptic won't cure cancer Put your heart in all you do Do all you put your heart into (Strive to live your life this way You'll find it short and full of pain) Tuesday. So should I care or not? You make it so hard to choose. When I offer my strength, You chain my arms at my side. When I turn my back, You lure me with purpose and need. You tell me that I can make a difference While enacting prohibitions against my skills. You cry for help while clipping my wings. Wednesday What if we made a pact To only run reports, make metrics, and deliver dashboards That tell managers whom to thank? Thursday I went to school to learn how to do a thing to get a job in which I get told how to do the thing by someone who went to school to learn how to tell people how to do things for which they themselves did not go to school.

I'd like to write poems, so I will start with haiku. Let's see where this goes. OK, I wrote one. I thought that would be harder. Now to keep going. This feels like cheating, writing poems about writing. Is it? Do I care? Counting syllables Following rules to write poems Is "poems" one or two? Why five seven five? Are there other haiku forms? Research for later Thank you for choosing Corporate Verse. Be sure to subscribe to this podcast to hear more entries next week. Good bye.

A whole new week awaits us. Time to read emails. Tuesday. There once was an honest consultant. Whose peers found her frankness insultant. They quickly decreed That she must not succeed. Her demise left her comp’ny exultant. Wednesday Something about platforms unsettles me; although simple implementation leaves time for business focus, every fix foments fear, so much so that changes formerly facile oftentimes just result in chaos. Eek. Thursday Here’s my attempted apology: I’ve not read a lot of psychology; I’m sorry what I said Went so far o’er your head, But I am from Information Technology. Friday Backlog grooming day. Let's make a new epic called “Find product owner.” Also playing the first Corporate Verse entry ever From Friday, February 22, 2019 Why am I still here? Who even knows I exist? I should just go home.
