Handful of Haikus
On the barren ground below
And nothing will grow
I reached level ten
Yeah, that's right bitch, level ten
I think that's "pwnage"
If elves live in trees
And rabbits steal cereal
What would Jesus do?
Creativity
Never stops or drops or rolls
Very flammable
When the rain falls down
Do you stoop to pick it up?
You heartless bastard
Don't be serious
Serious people die first
Yeah, seriously
Like doomed Icarus
Our wings can often trick us
Fly Southwest Airlines
Sadness, cold, hollow
Whispers from places unseen
The world is empty
Shores welcome the tide
Waves lapping over pebbles
Never forgotten
Love is bitter-sweet
At once it is a hard stone
And tender as down
What is the answer?
Is mortality your dream
Or someone else's?
Yes, haikus are fun
But not always that simple
To write or to read
These should be published
And put on bulletin boards
In teachers' lounges
