This was an awesome read! The thing I love about haikus is they feel effortless to read, but if you read 53 of someone's you really feel like you get a sense of them as a person ☺️

Thanks heaps for checking it out ☺️. Haha I wonder what they all said about me 😅

😅 wellll okay: you are wired to see the connections between things in ways that are both genuinely profound and genuinely absurd; you are attuned to the beauty and the comedy in everyday things in equal measure; you are deep but don't take yourself too seriously; you like potatoes and maybe cryptic crosswords?; if i were to ever find myself in a battle with you i should expect that you will win by attrition 😛

Bahaha thats an awesome interpretation. I’d like to think you’re correct 😅.

I’ve never done a cryptic crossword though.. I might have to do one for confirmation 🤔

haha i'm no good at them so may be way off base! but the deoxyribonucleic one reminded me of how the clues sound sometimes

Haha remember haiku is easy confidence is hard 😅.

Alex, this is beautiful chaos. Reading your haikus feels like trying to have a picnic on a rollercoaster speeding through a thunderstorm while someone hands you a philosophical riddle between bites. Plates are flying, thoughts are spinning, and somehow you still manage to serve a surprise at every turn. Wild and brilliant. ⚡🎢✨

Haha that’s a flatteringly awesome way of putting it Celia 😅.

It was a really fun day or so. I really like a few of them and still think about them. Don’t know how many plates were spinning but it was definitely cracked 😂

Haha cracked plates still count as movement, Alex 😄. The fun is in the chaos anyway. I’m glad a few of them stayed with you.

What a cool idea! Loved all these. Haikus are so fun because no matter how random they are, they seem so profound.

Haha thanks they really do don’t they! I noticed you saying a paid tier for the unposted notes and had to laugh as that was exactly what I was preparing.. This is just the beginning of my pretend profundity haha
