When you’re going through a divorce, or any breakup, you’re probably going to have a lot of feelings. You could write in a journal. And we’ve already talked about the healing properties of divorce art. But it’s much easier and sillier to write a haiku. It’s like poetry for the supremely lazy person!
Here are some examples to get you started.
Ex-husband’s new wife:
Might be younger and thinner
But God, is she dumb.
Dear Alimony,
Why are you called that? Should be
All-of-his-money
We had our good days
For example, this one time…
On second thought, no
True, I said “I do”
And lots of people heard me.
Guess what? I don’t care.
You are so lucky
I was ever seen with you
Ludicrous haircut
You were so boring
So boring boring boring
Yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn
Try writing some of your own if you have 30 seconds to spare. It’s fun!
Everyone Gets Divorced 
You told me one time
You weren’t good enough for me
I believe it now
That’s the spirit!
Her friends are all drunks
Says she can control her thirst
But not the cookies
Now I want a cookie. Thanks.
I see you drivin’
Round’ town with the girl I love
And I’m like, “Haiku”.
This is one of the best haikus we’ve seen. Especially because it incorporates the word “haiku.” Bravo.
Okay, I’ll be seriouser this time:
Someone once told me:
“The grass ain’t always greener!”
It is half the time.
Also good. You’re a pro.
‘Til death do us part?
I wanted to keep my vows,
Hit men cost too much.
I can’t take credit for the first one. #2 and #3 are originals.
Sleepless in Bagram
Not as good as “Seattle”
Please validate me.
