Haiku Friday For the People!
If you were wondering, poetry night at Beatnix was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed Beatnix, and the work of the Thursday night regulars there. I would recommend it to anyone, and I plan to go back. I have to say, though, that it is hard to compete with a guy who reads from his own already-published book of poetry, then composes a poem to wrap things up that included all my offhand comments from the evening. Well played, Dean McCormick.
But now it is time for some haiku. Here are some themes:
1) Psalms
2) The Mock Trial Team Dungeons
3) I named my child "Trucker"
4) Texas A & M
5) Rita Moreno
6) The Rule Against Perpetueties
7) Multiple-choice exams
8) All you sucker M.C.'s are gonna get schooled!
9) The baseball playoffs
10) Youtube
Here is mine. It's kind of a summary, in haiku, of Psalm 51:
Oh, my transgressions!
Born guilty-- and got worse
Don't cast me away!
Please enter your haiku below, in the traditional 5 syllable/7 syllable/5 syllable format.

and we're smarter too.
since nine-two we have
one bowl win; Aggie has 2

Four spontaneous haikus from last night's poetry reading...
Doing the laundry.
Out you damn spot, out I say!
Hrm... I need more Shout.
My Rubbery Ducky -
Spinning about the drain hole.
Bath time is over.
Have class tomorrow.
Thankfully not with Osler.
Still haven't read yet.
Guy with his laptop -
You're interrupting poetry!
YouTube can wait, no?
And a new one this morning to make five...
"CLINK!" goes my tin cup.
The dungeon rats gnaw Baker.
He's hobbled and sweet.
Doing the laundry.
Out you damn spot, out I say!
Hrm... I need more Shout.

RAP - my nemesis
Could never figure it out
Please explain Wilson.
Lives in being plus
Some twenty-one years it goes
That is all I know.
C in Property
Oh well, I still passed the bar
Now have swanky job
In town of the Nats
Where we hate all things New York
Go Red Sox. Go. Go.
