Haiku Friday: A flood of poetry


Yesterday I got to speak to the incoming students at orientation, which I really love doing. It's an honor, really. The sad part is that I usually don't see those students again for at least a year, when they get to my classes.

For now, though, let's haiku. The suggested themes:

1) Beach Volleyball
2) Orientation
3) Snax
4) The start of classes
5) Buying books
6) Flooding
7) Spiderman
8) South Ossetia
9) BMWs
10) Interviews

Hey there, Spiderman!
I read one hundred files
To find your nickname.

Now it is your turn...

For the first time in
Over twenty long, long years
I have no fall classes

This is odd to me
Not quite sure how to adjust
It's going to be hard.

"Spin me like a top."
That's what I said in my sleep,
but what does it mean?

Its Beach Volleyball!
Sweaty gals in bikinis
Goofy guys in shorts

My female colleagues
Want to see the men topless
In banana slings

Spidey! Where are you?
The Georgians need you now!
To fight the Russians!

AND

A good time was had
By all at the Law School's first
New student mixer.

It was under the
Giant oaks. Live music and
Free food! Life is good.

At Bill's parent's house.
House MIGHT be done September
5th. Great. Take Me Home.

LOVE Bill's Mom. Bill's Dad
is an acquired taste. He
INHALES Mayonnaise.

500 days out
of my house now. I can't deal
much longer. It's BAD.

Drowning here in Lake
Mayonnaise. My kingdom for
A/C and TIVO.
