HR Haiku Contest

Don D

Ha! You're never safe when you incur my wrath. I need to ask Christy why I always get blind copies of all those internal messages you and Paul send back and forth. I don't think the system is designed to work that way.

Expecting indeed!
Don D's haiku has spilled a
sweet teary-eyed smile

Now you be nice Don
Margaret may get you back
She's the haiku judge!

May he compose a ditty
'bout Mississippi

Gillian

Did you re-a-lly?
Sometimes it's necessary
To be sneaky me

Don D

Think of Mexico
Barefoot and tan sombrero
retirement looming

Paycheck trade for sun
Tequilla sunrise each morn
Forum pals envy

Trash can coat and tie
Sunshades, sandals, hammocks call
What took this so long?

Left-Coast bent aside
Wisdom, calm defense of post
Follow urge, move right.

Gillian

Right is in the past
Geography and thinking
Life is better now

Don't have time today
For verses de Mexico
I'm leaving early

Gillian

Where is my last post
Computers are death for me
Here we go again

Right is in the past
Geography and thinking
Life is better now

Retirement looming
But is yet three years away
Still much time for posts

No sombrero though
Teaching English is new work
It is needed there

Don't have time today
More verses de Mexico
I'm leaving early

Gillian

Posts come and posts go
And I understand nothing
About when or why


Now I'm really leaving!

BB

Not H.R. related but certainly apropos.

Paul in Cannon Beach
With too much time on his hands
Forum is his land

Leslie

So busy lately
and then I stop in to find
missing all the fun!

Leslie

And now I do know
what you do during the times
when jobs drive you nuts!

Don D

Leslie 'be' right on
HR Work Will Drive One Nuts
Paul show us fun thing

Pork has not found us
Perhaps he not want to play
He too must relax

Notice Paul absent
He started this whole damn thing!
Now he takes day off

Haiku three line fun
Japanese create this mess
Have we all lost minds?

Ah So!

Paul in Cannon Beach

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Ok, its friday so Im indulging myself.

good to see Don D
try his hand at poetry
HR curmudgeon

too much time on hands?
no no, you are wrong, my friend
bad time management

if only fed laws
were restricted to haiku
concise, clear, thought out

if i was not here
what would i be doing now?
pro golfer dreams....sigh

friday is here now
relax dress code and take time
to laugh at the week

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Paul

HS

Friday casual
Glad we finally changed rules
Can relax in jeans


Mind strays from my work
Causual days are so hard
To get all work done

LisaMN

HR Directors
Recovery room is
On PC today

LisaMN

Accepted job here
Stressed unrest turmoil and tears
Our ways are too hard

franfields

My first shot at it:

It's Monday morning
Our CFO's in a snit
Puts me in a funk

The Execs are nuts
I think they are all crazy
I will go hide now

Don D

Fran Cannot Hide Now
She Has Said It Much Too Loud
They Will Find You Soon

franfields

Oh No they found me
Find another hidey hole
Here they come again

Leslie

It is indeed a Monday.....

Raising premiums?
Eight hundred people to tell?
Where's that hiding place?

Paul in Cannon Beach

bored with haiku now
moving on to something new
interpretive dance

monday morning blues
makes me recall Rodney King
Cant we get along?

wind howling outside
rain spatters, cup of coffee
hide in the Forum

what do you look like?
my forum buddy I wonder.
Redford or Rickles?

Don D

Bored? Blues? Hide? Mood Swing?
Interpretive Dance? Tights? Wait!
Rethink your choice please!

Look to inner self
Confuscious has taught the way
Your answer's within

Tights will raise your voice
And your wife will take a flight!
Stick with jeans my friend.

If you're blue, relax.
Have ten deep breaths and a beer!
There is hope for you.

sonny

Haiku? no can do
New mayor, commissioners
Ants in my desk drawer



Interpretive dance?
A scary thought on forum
Can not wait to "see"

Paul in Cannon Beach

I wonder if Don knows
That I am only joking
No fear, Dandy One.

Ten deep breaths and beer
that sounds alot like the song
12 Days of Christmas

Haiku relaxes
but i must confess, I still
count with my fingers

Paul
