FOR THE EDUCATORS IN YOUR LIFE
"TEACHER HAIKUS FOR THE EDUCATOR'S NON-EXISTENT FREETIME"
"Zoom school is over.
No more turned off cameras.
Some are still on mute."
Sometimes, as educators, we need to take each day 17 syllables at a time. Enjoy the school year with 183 haikus specifically with the teacher in mind. From broken copiers to reminding students to turn in assignments to staff meetings that could have been emails, let's explore the year of a teacher.
"DELIGHTFUL FRIGHTS AND INNOCUOUS TERRORS"
"Lovely Lily, always silly,
in dresses pink and purple frilly,
played pretend with brother Billy,
planned picnics on flowers hilly.
Until the rabbits joined."
What happens when a mother with a eye for thrift shopping buys two terrifying rabbit statues? Perhaps this short poetry story can sum it up for readers nicely.
