these are actually old haiku poems of mine, from a previous haiku poetry blog. my apologies to any readers who have already seen these. but i thought i'd post them here as well, as i was rather fond of them. :)
#1
first job, first paycheck
card application approved -
let the good times roll
#2
stopping by the mall
can fin'lly get that new phone -
heady with new wealth
#3
front of the counter
slice of plastic being swiped -
a rite of passage
#4
needing comfort food
no cash, but i have plastic -
maybe just this once
#5
card credit maxed out
needing to go out tonight -
need another card
#6
marrying today
kept my box of cards secret -
something borrowed, blue
#7
he keeps on calling
won't take no for an answer
demanding i pay
#8
regret
didn't learn a thing about
compound interest
#9
these debts overwhelm
online, i seek a way out
i am not alone
#10
final payment made
twenty years in the making
finally i'm free
----
thank you for visiting this haiku poem blog. :)

haha, those are funny. credit cards can be tricky. thus i don't have one.
ReplyDeletehello, kouji! thanks for sharing me the good news this morning! read my new post!
ReplyDeleteI never got a credit card (never qualified for it), but I had been using a lot of debit cards and ATMs for those swipes.
ReplyDeleteI was once a spender when I got a good amount of money in my hands. I would find myself running out of cash after spending something that I don't really need.
I really love #6!! there are many ways you could say it.
