This Woman's Hilarious Horse Haikus Were Selected For Her University's Esteemed Journal
U of T’s literary journal will publish Danica’s poetry, titled “Horses Are the Frat Boys of Farm Animals.”
Danica is a 20-year-old from Ottawa, Ontario, currently attending the University of Toronto. She's also a talented artist and writer, and chose to include a doodle of herself in lieu of a photo.

More pertinent, though, Danica told BuzzFeed News she has a real beef with horses. "All my experiences with horses have been bad ones," she said.
Danica recalled a few instances when she was scratched up by branches or fell off of a horse while riding.
"I'm pretty convinced that horses have something against me because the only thing a horse has ever done to me is hurt me," she said.
Danica wants to make it clear that she's not afraid of horses, "I just want to fight them," she joked, adding that she'd never actually fight a horse "because animal cruelty is wrong."

Anyway. This all culminated into a series of haikus she wrote about her disdain of horses that she actually submitted to the University College at U of T's official literary and visual arts journal, The UC Review. She entitled the haikus "Horses Are the Frat Boys of Farm Animals."
Danica said she usually writes fiction, but chose haikus as her medium because "they're easier to work with."
"They're also short, which was good because I could just get straight to the point," she added.
Danica also submitted a series of 10 similar photos of a banana peel, which she called "Banana Peels of Toronto."
