I'm a paralegal. I settle tort claims. And I work mostly with the Federal Tort Claims Act. You don't really need to know that, it just explains the title. This series will feature bits and pieces of my workdays articulated in haiku. I hope you enjoy it becaue it's a real kick for me - which means it won't likey stop even if you don't. It just adds a whole new layer to my day. Tasks seem less like tasks and more like poetic challenges. Here's the first one:

Smashed her nose flaty - ouch!

Commenting in haiku will be praised. Here's how. (Understand that the commenters on this instructional page are uptight weasels who suck the fun out of everything. Write whatever you want using 5-7-5.)
We're watching you.

I think your second line is 6??? Les
Everyone's a critic! You can use a pause as a syllable. From the instructions, "Some writers incorporate a pause into the poem, indicated by the use of a colon, semicolon, hyphen or elipses. This helps to focus attention on the insight your poem presents."
Love the story of
