Life by Haiku

Nate · 2004-12-14T18:27:18Z

This is something I saw on another writing site once, and it worked out pretty well. Basically, the writing activity is to just describe your day in haiku form. Lets see if it works out here. Also, a haiku has three lines. The first and third lines have five syllables. The second line has seven syllables. Today finals start, Test-taking, essay writing, Tired I will be.

Wanting to connect --
at least the smoke is of farm
waste, and not plastic.

photos sort themselves
telling me their old stories
of people long-gone.

you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now

but i have promised to return

My tablet’s gone black
Dead, screen cracked and won’t turn on
How did I drop it

Bright sparkle weather,
stifling -- I expected it,
altocumulus.

Nerve racking moments
I am in my school’s advert
Please forget me now

rising from the ash
a young phoenix is reborn
sky awaits my flight

I only put my signature on big cheques.

Oh reminiscence...
a dangerous pass-time, where
the past again speaks.

New alarm clock
The old one broke, I threw it
In my restless sleep

time drags sleepily
like a lazy, trailing, thread.
what is there to do?

...

(gosh I wish I knew)

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

Due to budget cuts, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. Sorry for the inconvenience.

WAIT.
