Meta-haiku
On politics, who could resist this poem from OsoGrande, which is mostly borrowed from a wonderful writer?
Ivins: "I ne'er saw
anything funnier than
Texas politics"
anything funnier than
Texas politics"
On the meta level, though, I had to reprint this poem about haiku-ing from my once and future student, David Best:
A blue collar kid
with a spotty education.
Whats a haiku?
And whats a haiku
to do with a prof like this?
O’ That does make sense.
(He had us looking up artwork for our first day of Crim Law)
Had to google it
the first time, still do to spell.
First attempts? So so.
Repeat and try again.
Read, listen hard, catch on to
what is really said.
Rhyme and punctuate. (as you see fit)
Close the law books and enjoy,
a brief reprieve, joy.
Thank you, all of you,
for giving me, something new.
Appreciation.
