Do Not Go Gentle Into That Gchat

Emily Brill Friday, June 22, 2012Fri, Jun 22, 2012

Gchat, arguably the most legitimate of all instant messaging services, gets even more dynamic this week.  Huffington Post recently featured Penn professor Michelle Taransky’s Gchat poetry as part of their Reading Series.  Taransky’s “Sorry Was In The Woods” is an excerpt from her forthcoming book and subsequently makes us feel self-conscious for not even including vowels in our Gchats. Sry.

While we don’t have the attention span time to write our own full-fledged Gchat poem, we came up with a special haiku for the occasion:

Thank you, O Gchat

Have any Gchat gems?  Let us know in the comments.  It’s Friday, and we all need something to read.
