#2: 'sblood

6/11/2015

"'sblood!" he swore that night
to she who he held so dear
"I'll take out the trashe!"

< Laurence Fishburne as Othello!
Read the Shakespeare quote below... It inspires me to try Shakespearean Haiku...? Yea!

Could we dream that the abhorrent chore of taking out the trash might become obsolete (see #0)?

Obsolete. a euphemistic shortening of God’s blood, used as an oath.

"'Sblood, but you will not heare me, if ever I did dreame of such a matter, abhorre me."
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), Othello, 1622

Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image.

Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
