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

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.

Copperhead- A Haiku

This is why I never see too much above my head, or sometimes even in front of me when hiking in the South. You always have to be wary of poisonous snakes below.
Copperhead
I slither and seek
My copper pattern warns you
Please don’t tread on me.

Sometimes poems are inspired by the simplest things like being hungry and awaiting lunch.
Cheeseburger
Juicy beef patty.
Cheese layered across the top.
Mouth watering meal.

Basketball
I’m bounced and dribbled.
Passed from person to person.
Thrown to the round hoops.

Bullets are flying.
Destruction, death, and chaos.
Who are the winners?
