Haikus I Wrote While Working in Advertising
2007 and beyond
Typically written in-the-moment.
It can’t be like this
but it can’t not be like this.
We are zen masters.
- Ad meeting haiku
Think like the client.
We’ll be vindicated then.
See you tomorrow!
- Ad meeting haiku
Shit job, good lunch spots.
I run through the summer rain
forgetting purpose.
- Freelance haiku
Boy, you’re expensive
the bamboo forest pretends
it doesn’t want rain
- Freelance haiku
Totally briefed!
Seek the soil that lightning struck
maybe there’s some left.
- Strategy haiku
Oh it all checks out—
we polled all the interns
This is the future.
