The Sights I’ve Seen: Haikus

screams in school hallways

summer trigonometry

accept the challenge

 

midnight poker games

creative mathematics

think outside the box

 

the morning Minecraft.

after slumber, all is still

serenity now

 

dark and stormy night

chess with sweeping victory

fierce competition

 

the after school play

the architect of the stage

ingenuity

 

the early law camp

mock trials and reminders

I must speak my mind

 

milk snorts through his

nose lunch table bursts out laughing

the world needs more joy

 

a trip to England

a car crash and a story

ping pong in the rain

 

Dessau. The Bauhaus

German men with right angles

form follows function

 

draw, swish, thud, bullseye

draw, swish, clank, broken Eero

respect the balance

 

fall at the dojo

teaching children jujitsu

newfound leadership

 

a plan for Thailand

one final hurrah with friends

protect those who care

 

warm fall football days

collective sadness… we leave

parting of the ways
