Need a reminder of what constitutes a haiku? The key is the 5, 7, 5 Syllable/beat/measure. Here are a few we Jobaclites have come up with to help get you started.
Creativity
Stifled in my cube to die
Setting like the sun
Hired and fired
There's nothing to do with time
Except search for work
Collaboration
A word where we join forces
And feel good at end
Little cubicles
filled with you and me working
yet nothing gets done

standing in just her pink slip
no new shoes for her
moment of truth
cholesterol attacking arteries
If I just had a window
I'd know, but I don't.
So I sit and dream;
One day I'll have an office
with views of the park.
Til then however,
My window to the world? My
desktop wallpaper.

Klingon bastards! You killed my son!
Can't trust a klingon.
