Let's tick off what you did wrong h...Um...okay. Let's tick off what you did wrong here:<br />1. Friends are not evil. Not in general. In fact, mine the exact opposite of evil. Maybe your friends are evil, but then you should have specified.<br />2. You capitalized "Prevails" for no reason. If you were e.e. cummings, I'd allow it. I'd also be overwhelmed with pride that you visited my blog. Oh, and I'd be quick to ask how you came back from the dead and learned to use a computer. But you're not e.e. cummings. So it's a peculiar choice, and I don't approve.<br />3. The grey hair/God's graffiti metaphor doesn't make much sense to me. Are you saying grey hair is God's way of beautifying the world? Or that he takes years to create his uninspiring art, and is so lacking in creativity he only uses one color?<br />4. The third line has no connection to the first two.<br />5. Your ninja haiku entry is neither about ninja, a haiku, or an entry.
