Haiku Friday: School Supplies!
We started classes this week at St. Thomas, and it looks like I've got two great groups of students in my classes. I'm excited to be teaching again!
Of course, this time of year is all about school supplies-- whatever that may be for you (judging by the photo above, at the University of Minnesota it is a giant tank of gasified something). So let's haiku about that this week!
I can go first:
Brand new protractor;
But what does it do, really?
Never learned that.
Now it is your turn! Your haiku can be about anything related to the start of school, really, so long as you more or less put five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third...

My mod green,purple
Stripedschooldress bought naughty-
New school subject: Lust
Mom gave me $100
For school clothes.I SPENT IT ALL!
She had hoped for change.
In my defense,It did
Help me think deep thoughts about
The charms of young men.

Eau de Graphite,hue
Goldenrod,tall like Foshay
Pith of wit,squalor
Write furiously
Write desperately,write with
Luscious abandon.

I went to high school,
Without my lunch. Hallelujah
for Potter's Drug Store.
Where succulent tuna
Salad lived with barbeque
Potato chips and
Pickles and icy
Coca Cola in shapely
Green glasses behind
The lunch counter and
Its white formica glory.
The round red stools like
Swiveling contraband
Mushrooms on slender steel
Stems,gateway to Flirt.
Lunch is not,so they
Say the most important meal.
But the lore of it
Lingers like some legend
More than any algebraic
Theorem or chart.

My mother once did
Confess to me: she ate glue
Habitually.
She and her best friend,
Doris Ann. Teacher did not chide
Them for this.But for
Speaking Swiss at School,
Which was what they spoke at home.
Mother tongue bad. Eat glue!
