Haiku for Kamp's boy:

Breakfast brings beauty

Kamp's boy, hair flowing, fills cups.

Fill my eyes, Kamp's boy.

 

Pretty boy angel,

Fill my coffee cup for me.

Fantasy for free.

 

Haiku for John Green (not the PC energy czar):

To have done so much

And have so little to say

Keeps me from my lunch.

 

Round and round and round

We go; saying very little

Better to have nap

 

Haiku for Betz and/or Jennifer's Epiphany:

My age has screwed me

Hope brings crash of mind and soul

Young mid-life crisis

 

Moving many times

Has many benefits but

Memories are lost

 

Haiku for Room 216, Banning Hall:

Adult intelligent talk

I don't know if I can go back

To sports and small talk

 

Do you want to drink?

Why not?  What is to stop me?

In room two one six.

 

Twist-off bottlecap

Smirnoff Twisted Cranberry

Come for a comic moment

Of diversity.

General Session Haiku

"Housekeeping issues!"

Karina is on the mic.

"Papers to turn in!"

 

Hypnotic deep voice

I must lean forward in chair

So not to be soothed.

 

Seeing Richard's shirt,

Looking at the waves makes me

Think I might wake up.

 

Still in the "Anger" Stage

I see no Hope in

"Education Services."

I want my markers!

 

A Gnostic, Not Agnostic

He does talk to me

Is sleeping coming this way?

Now good night to all.

 

On Opala's Placecard

Sorry, but it's not

World of summer change.

 

Fingers matching words

Jennifer's words almost same

"Justice Opala sits here."

No chicken dinner.

Counting syllables

How safe is your food?

What's the proper spelling of

The not-so-dumb blonds?

Twelve-time hand-me-downs.

 

Irony defined:

The Roma use typewriters,

But they can't use stairs.

 

Root canal road trip

How big is that bandana?

Did the best I can.

 

Because You Can't, You Won't, and You Don't Stop

I have a problem.

I am naturally speaking

In seven and five.

 

"Well, you're in trouble

"When you start dreaming this crap."

Unconscious lyric.

 

Global Perspectives

Haiku for Slovak

I believe we scared him off.

Oh yes, it matters.

 

Everywhere the same

Wal-Mart all around the world

A global loathing

epilogue

My sick web facination has driven me to install a blog stat thing-y. Wondering if this phenom is just the Hendersons and I. Miss you all already, if being co dependant on good talk is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
