3.0

This is a collection of contemporary haikus which 'cuts deep: the love of a geek for a girl'. Its juxtaposition is between the geek and the unattainable characters. The introduction and the epilogue give so much blurbs descriptions and stuff.

I like the last poem the most. The restriction is its strength, but the restriction is also its weakness. The haikus are simple and understandable. However, it can only be fully appreciated by geeks who know each references of the characters.

the haiku for Amy Pond:
Perfect ginger hair
You know I am something blue
Won't you wait for me.


P.S. I just wanted to say to the one who wrote the introduction that geeks can also be girls.
