Haiku is a noun that is the same in both the singular and plural.
Sometimes (always) the news is depressing and/or boring, but you know what isn’t depressing OR boring? Guessing games.
So, here are five haiku about some of the most talked-about news stories of the past few days. You guess what the hell I’m talking about. Things were particularly dismal this week, so I apologize in advance.
Want your favorite (most awful) news story translated into an evocative and atmosphere piece of Japanese poetry? Email me .
