Notes from English 6410; Teaching World Literature (in haiku)


Notes from English 6410; Teaching World Literature
(in haiku)

Here’s a few Haiku
Just a midterm assignment
Yes I’m cynical

A quick blue scribble
A simple Haiku assigned
Is this real home-work

Are you crocheting
Teachers make the worst students
Is that your cell phone

Leaves, stream, trees and stuff
A Haiku about nature
Is that what you want

Abortion and death
A woman suppressed by man
A Modern Haiku

Realism in vogue
Real people prefer Potter
What now NPR

With modern Haiku
We've a nation of poets
Every text message

Well done – humor and craft!

I find many things Japanese beautiful. As a proudly “Western” mind, I am delighted to see that rules applied properly anywhere produce recognizable quality despite differences in time or space.
