I have been extremely remiss in updating this site, and I am sorry. Blah Blah Blah pnuemonia, and school, and work and blah blah blah....

but, updates should be regular from here on out, I swear. Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

The management.

Spam Haiku

The lonelyest time
Girls kissing in bars beside me
Come home to nothing.


Replica handbags
Strewn accross fifth avenue
Who cares if it hurts?


Louis Vuitton now
Gives greater pleasure than sex
For the right woman.

We used to be so good together,
I gave you the best years of my life
Croydon haziness dazzled
Fish jumping out of the water,
An earthquake that killed my heart
Who cares if it hurts?
embark in the dewy chronograph of heterostructure,
acerbic in monies ...
Write me back, please?

I must have told my man a hundred times a day
I'm a lady with a plan
I got a mission,
I am here to stay
Because of him there is hope -
Ash-colored...
hogging the calliope ...
somewhat by a nightdress in tachinid arccosine,
With trust.


Breath, again,
Remain Blessed.

Your beautiful when you are angry
You f*cking bitch.

Lucky for you when I slap a bitch in the face
She comes back for more.
You heard me,
She comes back for more.

I gave her a rolex and now I do what I want.
You heard me,
A Swiss Watch is all a girl needs.

Oh! Your dusty
thighs and breasts
several striped pilgrims tents
could not contain
your lustful heart.

I'll buy the beer if you do me -
my man is working late.



 

I get a lot of spam .... probably 400 emails a day of spam, and that is with spam filtering fully activated. I can't help it - I have several email addresses, and I have had them a long time, and as everyone always tells me, spam email is a fact of life.

It got so that I missed the 'real' email in my inbox - the emails from friends and family, and from people who had visited this site, because they got lost among the Viagra and Cialis ads, the porn spam, and the letters from Nairobi businessmen, eager to send me 21 million dollars. I started to feel sick every time I opened my email client, because the sheer time it takes to delete all of the spam every day is overwhelming.

I started feeling a little angry every time I sat down to my computer. I had to do something.

This site is that something. I write poetry, using only the subject lines of the hundreds of pieces of spam that I receive every day. A little bit Found Art, a little bit Whimsy, and mostly, just to find a way for me to find a peaceful intersection between digital communication and my life.

As always, you are free to email me, but due to the volume of email that this site generates (which is NOT spam!) I am unable to respond personally to everyone. However, I do read all of the comments left on the site, and truly appreciate what you all have to say.

This site has been featured in Newsweek, BBC News, The Boston Globe, The Hindustan Times, The Fort Wayne Sentinal, Media Life Magazine, The Philadelphia Enquirer, and a number of online outlets.

 

Thanks for reading,

Kristin
