How is that for wrong spelling????

Touche!



I cant't understand why is it so difficult to edit before finalizing a road sign that is bound to be permanent.

a funny signage and two haikus

For the record, his services were much better than his grammar!



Two of my favorite bloggers posted haikus:

1. This is from justdrinkmilk:

Infatuated
yet totally one-sided.
Story of my life.


A haiku is best appreciated in its oral form when the measured rhythm becomes an auditory delight. The beauty of this haiku is in its composition, although it maintains the blogger's emotional landscape: desolate and depressing. The piece then goes against the tide since most haikus are celebrations of nature's beauty and bounty.

In its written form, the full stop in the second line is out of place. Maybe a colon will do the trick?




2. And from tristan:

The future looks bright

But, there is no guarantee.

Hoping for the best.


This one moves half a step away from desolation and faces the future with uncertainty. This is not as skillfully crafted as the first one, but the emotions are more fluid. The comma in the second line is unnecessary.
