(lexine, what Cindy said. If the last posts of the thread are going to be natter, at least I want to -ma you in it.)

Anger grows white hot
Cool laughter—our salvation

Bureaucracy 2
Is ending in a few more posts.
"Solution" to come.

I suck at haiku. I'm never any good at writing it, plus I read it really stilted and count all they syllables.

{Thank you Nilly and Cindy}

And thanks to everyone else for not publicly laughing at my silly haiku.

The syllable rule isn't hard and fast. But what a haiku should have is an unexpected half-twist at the end. It can have four-eight-five, or seven-four-six, but it should 'haiku.' I know it when I read it, but writing it is harder than you'd think.

Hey fellow Stompies:
I can create the new thread.
Don't step on my feet.

This thread is ending
We have polled for a new name
We just need Trudy

Yes! That's the half-twist! Thank you, Jon.

Goodbye cruel thread
