Bonus Well Said Wednesday: A Scary Halloween Haiku

Photo by Samantha Hurley from Burst

That moment when a) you’re kind of known for holiday haikus, b) you’re kind of known for publishing your Well Said Wednesday blog every other week, c) Halloween falls on a Wednesday, d) it’s a holiday, e) it’s your “off week” for the blog but f) you have a blog post from 2016 that includes a Halloween holiday haiku!

Long way of saying, please enjoy this bonus Well Said Wednesday, a flashback to Halloween 2016.

Which also proves the point my journalism professor repeatedly pounded into our heads: Lopping of the first paragraph will make almost any piece of content much better.

P.S. There’s also a Halloween Haiku over on the 4.23 Facebook Page!


Long-time friends of 4.23 Communication know I celebrate National Poetry Month by writing and sharing work-related haikus each day in April. This Halloween, I was also inspired by the Mozy Frightful Computer Haiku Contest.

Type the book's last word.
What? Glitch? Wait! Blank Screen? [Swear Word!]
Terror knows no bounds.

Mozy is the cloud backup system I happen to use (though this is not a sponsored post or anything other than sharing how I killed a few minutes between phone calls.)
