Half-Week Haiku 47: Rear View Reflection & Your Week-Ago Self

What would you like to go back and tell your Week-Ago Self? Would you warn yourself about something? Advise yourself to make a different decision? Tell yourself to make more of an effort to make a certain someone smile? Scold yourself for that shoe choice with that outfit? Slap down the 5-7-5 and tell us all about it. I'll go first:

if i had the chance
i'd bestow this wise nugget:
"don't eat those scallops"

I suck at haikus
But I will say this
Use. Your. Brakes.

(and WOW on that picture!!)

[Primate]

Love this post and that pic! I'm horrible at writing haikus but love reading them. I have this shirt: http://www.threadless.com/product/623/Haikus_are_easy_but and whenever I wear it, no one understands.

[Sarcomical]

@Primate: I HAVE THAT SHIRT, TOO!!
check it out

@Miss Brit: you're so nice. ;)

P.S.!!!! COME ON, YOU GUYS. the next person who says they're afraid to write a haiku is gonna get called a wuss. ;)

[Sarcomical]

p.p.s. - that photo actually IS of my Week-Old Self! ...you know...in case you're interested.

Turn off House M.D.
Your big deadline is looming.
No, red wine won't help.

[Alison]

I have that Threadless t-shirt too!

I'd say to myself
Self, Slowdown. Running away
Won't make him want you

it was just one night
but what hurt it would cause her;
refrain from that text

Take in the washing:
Rain does not make things drier.
Oh, and wear a mac.

Fantastic picture! Oh! That picture!

[jayce]

sorry about the accidental double post.

loving the colours and composition of your photo by the way!

your blog keeps me in perspective.
reminds me of the other people in the world with different lives.

[Hanni]

you won't believe it but I've got haiku at the house today too.

[kirida]

i would tell myself
don't freak out if you can't fit
those expensive jeans

And also: you have amazing eyebrows.

[Jamie]

the yard sale beckons
therapeutic spring cleaning
you'll need more boxes

ice your wrist at night,
because when he twists your wrist
it will hurt like hell.

my physiotherapist made me cry this week. likely because i did a shitty job of icing my wrist and doing my exercises...

[Dawn]

this week is evil
just stay under the blankets
until the weekend

And that sums up my past week. =P

[Catheroo]

OCD? Perhaps.
Better to wash hands often
Than suffer pinkeye

And I also have the Threadless shirt! I love it.

The pinkeye is almost gone. Thank you, antibiotics.

[Ashmystir]

Haikus don't rhyme.
But must make effort.
Sarcomical blog rawcks!
so do her pics.

=)

What a fun blog post! Here's my rueful commentary on my "emergency" approach to dressing, in haiku:

A cheap safety pin
won't hold jeans closed forever.
The belly springs forth.

[Kerri Anne]

Do not dawdle, for
some visa applications
take more than eight days.

[Emily]

That basket of stuff
Be careful when you reach in
That fork will stab you

[Crazy Lady]

Very bad idea
Whatever you do, not that!
just tell him the truth
