For those who don't know, I was an English teacher with dreams of being a pro writer. Which did happen, but not completely as I planned. My Masters was in English with an emphasis in Film Theory, which I completed 17 years ago. I used to teach writing, poetry, and creative writing at both the high school and college level. So here's my ode to standup through haiku. For those who don't know, haiku are three line poems with 5,7,5 syllable structure, usually dealing with nature in someway. Here are five haiku with practical advice. And for the record, haiku is both singular and plural. I added a title for fun.
