Skykus

Flying airtran from Denver to Atlanta, I discovered that all airtran flights have wi-fi, which is great, but not free. You can, however, get free access to twitter through some special thing. Anyway, I posted a few comments on that flight, but on the way from Atlanta to Chicago. I decided the moment called for something more... interesting? Anyway, I wrote a series of haikus through twitter to the world below. So, I give to you "The Twitter Haiku Sequence from 30,000 feet" ...or umm, "Seven Skykus!"

1.

thirty thousand feet

Airtran, what could beat two seats?

one not-broken seat

2.

a long novel begs

but my attention is short

and twitter is #

3.

i'm higher than clouds.

sounds illegal but isn't.

jurisdiction stuff.

4.

what is cooler than

thirty thousand foot haikus?

refrigerators

5.

ode to a brown shirt

not this one, the other, says:

“refrigerator”

6.

just an hour in

and my haiku jokes all end:

refrigerator

7.

battery dying

signing off and thinking “land”

while descent begins

For those that are interested, the landing was one of the worst I've experienced. I hate being a couple hundred feet off the ground for a little too long. It always makes me think something is going on. Looking out the window I keep thinking, we're very close to the ground and non of this looks airport-y. Also, planes should not bank shortly before landing. I think rudders were created for that.
