The High Fashion Haiku

Took a little break from the rhymes and tried my hand at a few Haikus*. No, they are not about nature.





Open-toe, boot shoes
80s frames, signature scowl
let’s go to the beach.



Jutting collar bones
extending down the middle
I die, Rachel Zoe.



Early morning walk
torn men’s button down, black sneaks
added 50 years.



Pillows whilst traveling
okay if you’re under ten
not for twenty plus.



Yes, you rock the curves
but not a spandex onesie
another bad choice.


Oh dictionary
please paste this under d-bag
move over Gosselin.

*And yes, I might be practicing for this. I mean, they're having these contests once a week and it's like they were created for me, right?

Just exchange d-bag for d-fug and you'll be a shoe-in!

Frankie Diane Mallis said...

HHahahaha! Oh the Jersey Shore, never did a more guilty pleasure ever come into existence! I heard Snookie's getting her own show. You know where I'll be!

Little Ms J said...

Ok, calm down there. I am totally down for your enlightened haikus, but the Jersey Shore? Those boys aren't D-bags. They're sweet, misguided little guidos. They love their mama's and live by very simple guidelines - GTL. Gym. Tan. Laundry.

Now these are some wild characters! Thanks for the do and don'ts.

Maybe you could bring your photos and do a guest lesson with my composition students - I have NO DOUBT you would be a hit. :-)

Kristy said...

Gah Rachel Zoe is SCARY

Tere Kirkland said...

I'm worried Rachel Zoe's stomach has already begun to eat her from the inside out.

Thanks for a fun post!

Elana Johnson said...

Oh, my heck, I'm horrified by every single one of those! My eyes! They're bleeding.

But your haiku is seamless. :)

Kim said...

LMAO! Those are great!

BA-NA-NAS! Get RZ some bananas! I can't believe she wore that after all her bad anorexia press. I am seriously shocked! But, I still love her. *ducks*

Angela Ackerman said...

LOLOLOL! Perfect, every one of them!

Dara said...

I think those pictues are vomit inducing. :P And Rachel...I mean how can one still be ALIVE and look like that?? I think someone may need to stage an intervention.

The Haikus though were awesome :)

Jill Kemerer said...

Oh, oh!! I saw that Rachel Zoe picture in my beloved UsWeekly and I gagged! Does she not have a mirror? Yikes!

Anonymous said...

I did not even recognize Rachel Zoe! Ugh Somebody give that girl a Luna Bar!
Hilarious!!!! wheeeeeeeeee:)

Shannon Messenger said...

Oh noes! You'd think--with how many "people" these celebrities have helping them--that there wouldn't be so many disasters. And yet there seems to be an endless supply...

At least it's good poetry fodder!

Kristen Torres-Toro said...

Ha!

Donna Gambale said...

Oh hilarity. I can always count on you ladies! I'm cheering for round 2 of high fashion haiku!

Don't call this a comeback

So it’s been a minute. Or 10. Or truthfully more like 2,102,400. At least we think that’s how many minutes there are in 3 years, but let...
