He isn’t my type.
I’m a mover, a shaker, a rocker, a punk.
He’s a brainiac, a nerd, a techie, a geek.
I live for the crowd, the chaos, the smoke, the applause.
He lives for the scholarships, the level ups, the test scores, the hacks.
He trips over my amplifier cord, opens his mouth, and music pours out:
“Awkward to a fault-
Contents of a graceless life
Spewed across the floor.”
This Haibun/Senryu is written for Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday #synonyms only, words poets choice. The Photo Prompt, is from Mind loves Misery’s Menagerie. The word: Applause was supplied by Eugenia, at Brew N Spew Cafe. And the word: Type was supplied by Girlie on the Edge’s Six Sentence Story prompt.

Wow – a marvelous combo of prompts! I identify with the geek here, haha!

This was a great six and a wonderful haiku. I liked how even though he was a nerd, when he tripped and opened his mouth she heard music. Maybe they’re not so opposite after all or maybe music is just that strong of a unifying force.
