Think of it as therapy, with an edge.

As a tribute to this book, here's a harmless story about someone’s endearing wrath.
A place for books, Don Juan
A young man sent me
a friend request and copious
private messages
Despite knowing that
I abhor suffocation—
silence made him mad.
No need to block me
on this autumn day, fine lad,
I sure as hell will
not try to make contact with you.

Taylor haiku Swift for a day. That’s bad but innocuous haiku. The following examples are equally bad but much more obnoxious and "fun" is a foreign concept to them.
(Someone’s having trouble with letting go)
Disgusting.
These are not pissed-off people but horrible human beings I would never like to meet. Their company must be so exhausting - like reading this book - and, in some cases, it may constitute a felony – like printing this book.

* A couple of days on main page and back to oblivion.
** Later on my blog? Hmm, it's embarrassing - funnily enough, not on here.

Your screaming child is
Clearly devil spawn and you
Should have your tubes tied.

When they serve me cold
Coffee, I spill it on their
Floor. Every damn time.

Don’t risk jail time, just
Hang your ex’s photo on a
Heavy bag and Punch!
(Someone’s having trouble with letting go)
*
Don’t try to wash my
Windshield, or I’ll run that red
Light right over you.

My prof made a pass
Turned her down and she freaked. See
You-tube video.
Disgusting.

I thought it was funny But may be more in the lines of a 3.5 it was a funny idea. Of course after a while they get repetitive, but what can you expect? Couple of my favorites… Gotta pee gotta
pee right now! What the hell are
you doing in there?
I don’t know why that’s why my favorite because I don’t like how the lines are broken up but here’s another one…
Two words for the bitch
Who stole my husband? Ha ha!
The joke is on you.
It was also fun to think of my own and just write them aside of the given one that inspired me. For example, she wrote you drank up all the coffee this morning so I exit car breakfast! So what coincided with that from my mind was you hung with my ex that’s ultimate betrayal I hate you so much. Of course things are corny but that’s kind of part of the territory. It is fun and challenging to find exactly 575 syllables in each line.

If you like eff bombs,
and crude language for humor-
this book is for you.
If you expect it
to be witty and funny
then look somewhere else.
Vitriol is easy.
Sarcasm and wit are hard.
This missed the mark.
On the upside of
things. This book is super short-
a half an hour read.
I like haikus and
the title is amusing,
so I took the chance.
It was a quick read,
and there were funny parts, but
I'm disappointed.

I love haiku, and the title got a giggle out of me. Not impressed at all.

Very funny! Just when you thought you were alone, you find out that people get annoyed at the same things as you.

Charmingly Nasty,
Sadly not very funny.
Still like the concept.

Can't wait to read this!

Thought this would be funny. Was really just angsty and meh.

Thank goodness this was free, and didn't waste my money as well as my time. There was an occasion funny haiku, but mostly it was unhinged bitchiness in (horrid) haiku form. Because of my typical need to finish the books I start, the single redeeming quality here was the opportunity to write a bad review. I've done it, and now I'm done with it.
