A little contest

I took this photo today.

I guess someone's apology didn't go as well as expected.

There's a story here, and I want you to write it.



For a free copy of my book, leave me a funny haiku about the circumstances behind this picture.

I'll pick my favorite and declare them the winner. Deal? Deal.

(Yes, I'm stalling because I haven't finished my next post yet.)

Have fun!

  1. Spurned, freezing bouquet
    Gathers no warmth from her touch
    Just like his blue balls

    He thought, as petals flew like
    Angry drops of blood.

    Tossed aside like an old sandwich,
    The roses lay freezing on the side of the road.
    He lay freezing in the snow bank,
    She preferred his car to the bouquet.

  11. His apology,
    while filled with good intentions,
    was not well received.

    Roses aren't enough
    after you admit you fucked
    your secretary.

    Beauty damaged by "progress"

    Roses:
    out of the window
    out of pocket

    Symbol of love
    Abandoned
    Now road kill

    You slept with bride's maid?
    Catch this bouquet with your face!
    Thorns really hurt, ouch...

    Insensitive ass
    Your apology lacks truth
    You can't buy my heart

    (I was going to go with just the non-5/7/5 variations, but hey, there are so many story possibilities!)

    My name is NOT Darlene!
    She kicks him out of the car and drives off in his car not before she runs over the roses and leaves him on the curb realizing it was his mistress's birthday not his wife! Now he realizes he is doubly screwed no wife and nothing for the little mistress!

  51. Looking at the other posts, I am realizing that that is a road with a snow bank. My haiku will make a lot more sense if you see it as a sandy beach with some surf. Clearly I am tired of winter.

  54. Was bringing flowers
    To prove it that I love you
    Didn't see that truck


    You bought me flowers?
    After all you did to me?
    Fuck you, you asshole!


    It seemed romantic
    Till I saw the note attach'd
    "With condolences"

    (Can you tell I'm a little bitter and twisted right now?!)

    "I'm a dick," he said
    "But, I got you these flowers...
    Does this mean no sex?"

    note: at the ellipses you have to imagine the sound of roses being rapidly tossed out a moving car window, whoosh, a sound that doesn't use a haiku syllable. OK?

    Or, how about this one?

    Young man on the street
