Haiku Friday: Texts and Tests
There are a lot of happy Baylor grads today (and a few not-so-happy grads), as bar results from the summer test came out yesterday. Overall, Baylor people did quite well, as about 94% of our first-time test takers passed and we ended up very close to finishing first in the state as a school.
Test-taking is something all of us have experienced, even those of us who have never taken the bar. It involves such complex and intense sensations-- the sound of chairs on the floor, the smell of freshly-sharpened pencils, the crispness of the test paper. All of which makes it perfect for haiku. Here is mine:
Breathing out... just then
I open up the book, smile
Breathe in, start to write...
Now it is your turn. Just follow the haiku formula of five syllables for the first line, seven for the second, and five for the third.
