Once again, my lovelies, it’s Haiku Friday!
Just recently, John and I watched the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”
This movie? Is amazing. I highly recommend it. It’s insanely deep and makes you seriously think (if you have a brain in your head and a heart in your chest).
I wrote these haiku after watching that movie, and reflecting on the choices we make in and for love.
Spin out of control
The eager mind wandering
Dare I bring it back?

Your haiku are always so pretty.
And thanks, I always love a good movie recommendation.
#2 by Secret Agent Mama on November 9, 2007 - 5:03 AM
Love them, all of them! I’ve always wanted to see the movie, but have yet to. Must. Remember.
Namaste Lotus~

Great haiku; will add that flick to my netflix list.
#4 by kara on November 9, 2007 - 5:42 AM
lovely haiku’s. Happy Friday.
I loved that movie.
#5 by Jennifer aka Binky Bitch on November 9, 2007 - 6:36 AM
I love that movie so much! Great, inspired Haiku.
#6 by Stephen on November 9, 2007 - 7:05 AM
Nice haiku, Great film.
#7 by Patois on November 9, 2007 - 7:22 AM
Great series of ku. Sorry to say that I wasn’t a big fan of the movie. Remember, though, I’m old so most of it probably went over my head.
#8 by Kelly on November 9, 2007 - 7:26 AM
That was a wonderful film, and one that, after viewing, I had to just sit there and continue to take it in.
Great haiku!
#9 by Sarah Jackson on November 9, 2007 - 7:36 AM
those were lovely. Thanks for making me stop and think this morning.

Lost loves to forget?
mem’ry gone, and just like that,
peace, but piece, not whole.
#11 by janet on November 9, 2007 - 8:54 AM
lovely ‘ku. now i’ll have to rent that movie!
#12 by Junebug on November 9, 2007 - 8:55 AM
Nice Haiku. I haven’t seen the movie though.
#13 by Bill on November 9, 2007 - 9:17 AM
That’s so weird. I commented on Sarah’s page over at Imaginaey Binky and rewrote her post as a haiku….then I got to your page and saw you were doing Haiku Friday?
This is what I wrote over there:
You kids quiet down
Be a dear. Fetch me some Booze
Mom has a headache
I call it Imaginary Drinky.
There’s an amazing song based on Eternal Sunshine by a band called Dexter’s Moon. The song is Goldfish Memory. I’ll post it on NaBloPoMo later.

Oh these are awesome. Sooo good.
#15 by Hydes Like Us on November 9, 2007 - 9:55 AM
Whew! That’s some deep haikuin’. Well done.
P.S. I’ve apparently started some kind of stalking war over who lurvs you most.
P.P.S. Just so you know? It’s me.
P.P.S.S. Not to be creepy or anything?
Riiight.

Veronica – Thanks! That movie will make you laugh and cry. Get ready.
Secret Agent Mama – I wante to see it forever, and when I finally did my mouth just hung open (while I cried). Namaste!
Toni – Don’t ya just LOVE Netflix?
Kara – Thankers… Jim Carey really is the great actor people didn’t expect him to be.
Jennifer – Wasn’t it a mind-blower???
Stephen – Thanks, and yes it was!
Patois – Tis okay, my friend. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
Don’t worry, I also loved Punch Drunk Love and everyone (almost) that I’ve told that to acted like I was a freakin’ tard.
Kelly – John and I couldn’t stop talking about it. Days later, he would bring it up again, and we would gush about it, sighing heavily.
Sarah Jackson – most of the time I just make people wonder if the Sanitarium door got left open. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thursday’s Child – THAT was EXCELLENT.
Janet – get a box of tissues handy. For serious.
Junebug – put it in queue, my friend.
Bill – see, dude, we have this mental connection. Soon, you will be under my complete control.
And “Imaginary Drinky?” good lord. Could you be any more intelligent mixed with hilarious? Shee-aw.
Serina – thanks, babe!
#17 by Sarcastic Mom (aka Lotus) on November 9, 2007 - 10:02 AM
HH – Shhh, but I’m enjoying it.
Also… you inspired a fight over who gets to HAVE you as a stalker… check out Dawn224’s comment on yesterday’s post. Hehe… Jenna Fischer… teeheeheee….
#18 by ~JJ! on November 9, 2007 - 10:46 AM
Wow.
You’ve made the haiku so meaningful.
#19 by Yo Mama Mishi Stalker on November 9, 2007 - 11:11 AM
OK, HH, I thought it was all in good fun and now it’s WAR! You just wait. When you least expect it. BAMMO!
Sorry, beautiful Lotus! I don’t mean to leave threats on your haiku post.
HH: BRING IT!
#20 by Moxie Mom on November 9, 2007 - 11:35 AM
mmmm…thank you for that
#21 by Jen M. on November 9, 2007 - 11:47 AM
I love reading all the Friday Haikus. Yours are lovely.
#22 by Hydes Like Us on November 9, 2007 - 12:06 PM

#23 by Karen MEG on November 9, 2007 - 12:36 PM
Those are beautiful, haunting.
I loved that film. I tend to enjoy Jim Carrey more when he’s not so funny. Kate Winslet is always awesome. But that film, so different, really makes you think, in a good way.
Thanks for those.
#24 by Sleeping Mommy on November 9, 2007 - 1:20 PM
I have not seen that in a long time. Such a good movie. Love the haikus too.
#25 by VDog on November 9, 2007 - 2:40 PM
Great job! Liked that movie, too. LOVE Kate Winslet!
#26 by cate on November 9, 2007 - 3:01 PM
i always love your Haikus…so beautifully written!
i’ve wanted to see that movie for a while now…now i’m gonna have to go out and rent it!
#27 by Bren on November 9, 2007 - 3:34 PM
Those are all great haikus. Now I want to see the movie!

I have no brain.
#31 by Anglophile Football Fanatic on November 9, 2007 - 8:29 PM
I haven’t seen the movie, but the ku were beautiful. I need to rent it. I’m a huge fan of Kate Winslet.
#32 by Ann on November 9, 2007 - 9:02 PM

A lovely haiku.
We just recently saw this movie too. It was an emotional ride during and after the movie for me. I cried, and cried….loved it.
Have a great weekend!
