Here’s a few Haiku style poems (5 syllables/7syllables/5syllables) about a creepy Diner*:
One Stop Diner
Drive until you’re here
In the middle of nowhere
Stay for the good grub
The Staff
The short one will snark
The tall one will be kindly
Don’t make Inez mad
The Food
It may not be yours
But you’ll eat it with gusto
Wash it down with lies
The Chef
Send him compliments
If you want to leave alive
Best to tip the girls
The Bill
If you’ve made it here
The bill’s already been paid
Get out while you can
*I’m not a huge poetry person, however I like the structure of Haiku’s and enjoy stretching myself to tell a story in 3 lines and with 17 syllables. The diner was somewhat influenced by my listening to Welcome to NightVale, but it’s its own thing.
Well first, don’t ever make Inez mad. Ever. Second, you’re “not a huge poetry person”? What?! That’s just because you haven’t read super awesome poetry. Hmm … where could you find super awesome poetry … hmm? If only there were a blog. If only there were a link right here you could click: msakran.wordpress.com. If only!!!
