I’ve never really written Haikus. About a month ago, we had an informal competition in my office to write the best Haiku about our association. I won. And I only used 4 syllables on the last line. And I wrote it five seconds before they started reading the entries.
Haikus are easy. Wednesdays are boring. I decided to combine the two, and I even spared you the alliterative gem that could have been “Haiku Hump Day.” Mostly because I hate the phrase, “Hump Day.”
Today’s theme is: robots. Here’s mine. Leave yours in the comments.

Warmth exudes through laser eyes
Love does not compute
This robot does not exude warmth through his laser eyes...
