A sad haiku

[sylvar]

A roll of quarters
once meant fun at the arcade,
not feeding meters.

now feeding meters

I meant "not", for contrast. "Now" is implied by "once".

Wonder which is worse
Having to feed the meter
Or washing machine

Ah, we've got a stacked set of full-size HE washer and dryer at home. It's lovely.

wonderful image!
i told you writing haikus
would be addictive.

[sylvar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I only had trouble deciding how many syllables are in "hours".

[sylvar.livejournal.com]

...so I rewrote without it.

Do you need to feed the meter, are are you happy to see me?

[juniperpearls.livejournal.com]

I'm 99% sure it's a dipthong and one syllable.

[sylvar.livejournal.com]

I think it can be either, and in some dialects it's monophthongal fronted /a/. :)
