“Office Night” Haiku Contest

Monday, May 15, 2006

I have a feeling that this season finale has a lot of folks feeling quite poetic so let’s get the haiku contest started up.

For those of you visiting for the first time, a Haiku is a “Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.” So basically, you have to have three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables and they don’t have to rhyme. Of course, instead of nature or season, we are going to write about that weeks episode. It can sum up the whole plot, or just one part that you liked. How come I have a feeling that a lot of you are going to write about the same scene?

I’ll go first:

Jim is talented
His mind has special powers
He moves coats and hearts

If you’ve never done a haiku, make this the week that you give it a try. With the extra long office, and the extra emotion, there is plenty to write about.

    Although rejected,
    Jim’s so desperate for love
    That he kisses Pam.

  11. Brian says:

    Roy asks for Jim’s help
    “Keep an eye on her Halpert”

    My girlfriend cheated

    Might as well go home

  18. J says:

    Jim loves Pam So Much

  19. Kellie says:

    Just that single tear

    Dwight knows when to fold

    Telekinesis
    A secret wink, a sly grin
    Pam is Jim’s power

    How’s he keep his mung beans cold…

    Jan should really know better
    Carol will catch on

    Happy Angela disses
    Some day she’s Mrs.?

    Roy is not threatened
    “Keep an eye on her, all right?”
    Perhaps he should be

    Pam’s feeling lucky
    Jim says he’s in love with her
    Darkened office kiss

  25. Kenneth says:

    Friendship is good, but
    “I wanna be more than that”
    It’s never enough.

  26. vicki says:

    That kiss was so sweet
    Forbidden fruit always is
    Is there another?

  27. Lori says:

    Season finale
    Jim says he loves Pam; hot kiss
    God, I love this show.

  28. Bland says:

    Here’s one with a guess at what one of Pam’s Mom’s questions were:

    Pam’s mother is wise
    “Are you having second thoughts
    about the wedding?”

  29. Melody says:

    planning the wedding
    jim helps pam watch wedding bands
    wait! is that kevin?!

  30. Melody says:

    dwight sees coat rack shake;
    tries to make bobble, wobble
    he does not succeed

  31. Melody says:

    might come out broken,
    but jim still spills his hearts words
    now sealed with one kiss

  32. candace says:

    On Casino night
    Michael invites two women
    Jan leaves really mad

  33. Kenneth says:

    Scratonicity’s
    “Please don’t stand so close to me”,
    Roots for Jim and Pam

    That was actually pretty random.

  34. Kenneth says:

    Jim’s feelings are out
    Who cares about transferring?
    “I’m in love with you”

  35. Brian says:

    Scrantonicity
    Dwight’s face, Jan’s plans, And pam’s heart
    Everyone felt “Sting”

  36. chris says:

    Two Dates for Michael
    By deceiving we honor
    Jan overnight bag

  37. Mindy says:

    Jim in parking lot
    unloads a truckful of love
    on a confused Pam.

  38. Bland says:

    Boy Scouts don’t suffer
    Afghanistananis do
    AIDS isn’t funny

  39. Kenneth says:

    Pam’s response, “I can’t”,
    Really hurt Jim’s feelings, but
    He will still love her.

  40. Kenneth says:

    “Prostitute ourselves”
    Oh Angela, you never
    Cease to be creepy

  41. stella says:

    Scrantonicity
    A slap, Creed steals, Michael two-times,
    And Jim makes his move.

  42. stella says:

    “I’m in love with you.”
    Pam retreats to call her mom
    She kisses him back!

  43. Liz says:

    Pam said she couldn’t,
    Misinterpreted friendship,
    Jim wipes off a tear.

  44. Liz says:

    Wow, these are fun. My English teacher would be proud. Here’s another.

    Confessing his love,
    Jim’s heart is going mach 5,
    He tells Pam for once.

  45. Diane says:

    Pam is so stupid
    These moments don’t happen twice
    Kiss ME, sweater boy!

  46. Laurel says:

    Oh Christ that moment
    The pure longing in his eyes
    Love must say its name

    It was her secret
    Hope that lay inside of her
    Untouched ’till he spoke

    Angela slapped Dwight
    But then when she walked away
    There was that small smile
