Bricks
Clay baked rectangles
Many colors of the Earth
Mortared together.

Parched Earth- A Haiku
Posted: June 4, 2013 in Photography, PoetryTags: Digital photography, drought, Earth, Haiku, Haiku and Related Forms, Japanese poetry, Photography, Poetry, Southeast Texas
Browsing through my photos, I came across this macro photo I took of some seriously parched earth. It inspired me to write a haiku. Texas went through a monster drought two years ago and has not recovered to this day. The rain has been coming, but we need so much more. Remember! Water is life!
Parched Earth
The ground cracks open.
Life around dries up and dies.
Water the savior.

The Chameleon
My tongue is sticky
Eyes look two ways at same time
Mood changing color.

Summer
Longer days, short nights.
Picnics, beach, swimming, and sun.
Relax and unwind.

Waves
Passing the sandbar
Rapidly rushing to shore
They come crashing down

Gangs
We create havoc.
Our lives mean nothing to us.
Neither do your lives.

Smart Board- A Haiku
Posted: May 22, 2013 in PoetryTags: Classroom, Haiku, Japanese poetry, Poetry, Smart Board, Teacher, technology
Smart Boards remind me of a lot of humans that cannot think. You know the ones that are like robots, that only respond, and follow, with no ability to lead.
Smart Board
They call me Smart Board.
I am unable to think.
I only respond.

I looked at my desk and this came to mind.
Stapler
The paper enters
Pressure is applied to me
The pages are held tight.

After watching the news tonight and seeing the tragedy in Moore, OK, this haiku came to me.
Tornado
Violent winds blow.
Possessions flying away.
Only life matters.
