My students are working on haiku’s. So, I had them tell me a subject to write on and I wrote a haiku for them. Here they are in all their glory and silliness.
Sickness
Each day I hack and
Cough and snuffle the mucus
In my nose and throat
Cowboys
Chaps and hats, tight jeans
Riding broncos and bucking
Bulls. They are real men.
Sunset
She bows gracefully
At the end of the evening,
Welcoming the night.
Summit
Crowded halls. Strutting
Students mark territory
Like male dogs in heat.
Photography
Click of the shutter
Shift of the lens – focusing.
Artistic beauty.
Shoes
Patent leather with
Four inch heels raising me up
To over six feet.
The Ring
It has a wide band
With a single solitaire
One caret diamond.
Bills
They come every day
Except on Sundays and I
Let them pile on up.
Madness
Padded walls inside
My head, blocking the daylight
Of my clear thinking.
Happiness Is
Being my own boss.
Walking my own street. Going
Down my own pathways.
