Almost Haiku

June 28, 2007

FOUND by Hailey in Sitka, Alaska

I found this in our school library in a pile of papers by the printer that nobody had claimed. It could be a haiku, but it has one extra syllable.

Please Be Who You Are

June 27, 2007

FOUND by Alli Smith in Connecticut

I was going through my mom’s old cookbook and found this. My mom has no idea who Donna Lee is or who could’ve written it.

Hair, Hair Everywhere

June 26, 2007

FOUND by Meaghan

Last year, I found this photograph stapled randomly to a bulletin board at my high school. I picked it up and kept it because it made me laugh. The person’s arm has more hair than the dog!

Akashi

FOUND by Jason Freitag in Des Plaines, Illinois

Found this on Wolf Road; I thought this was a pretty touching card, especially from the vet.

Reasonable Fear

June 23, 2007

FOUND by Ellie in Newark, Delaware

I found this in a bush on my college campus. The back of the card has Greek letters and the name “Jen”, so I suppose it was part of a sorority pledge game. Or maybe Jen just really needed to get something off her chest.

Ran Off To See The World

June 22, 2007

FOUND by Jason in Danville, California

My son had a tantrum, and I gave him a twenty minute time-out in his room. After twenty minutes I went up to his room, and he was gone. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find him. I go back to his room and see this note (he buried himself in boxes under his bed it turns out).

Puppy Love

June 21, 2007

FOUND by Kegan Simons in Chicago, Illinois

I found this love letter/threat on a vacant seat on the #76 east-bound bus, on the way to DJ at Delilah’s one unseasonably warm evening.
