School

Kindergarten year.

Nap time, coloring, and fun. Learned the alphabet.

First grade - it all changed. Counted up to one hundred.

This was a big feat!

Days of second grade.

Learning how to solve fractions. I just turned seven!

Third grade was a ball. Will I ever use cursive?

Math is getting hard.

Almost done - fourth grade!

Double digit division... Off to middle school!

Fifth grade: meet new friends. Binders and new scheduling.

We still had recess!

Sixth grade, so much fun.

Health class is really scary... I am scarred for life.

Seventh grade was odd. Mr. Waters loved Pink Floyd.

Mummified chicken!

The woes of eighth grade: Four years at the middle school.

Are we finished yet?

Freshman year. YOLO!

I love block scheduling. Everyone hates us.

Springfield school district. We have gone here all our lives.

We’ll always be here.

Page 4: 101 Haikus

Technology

Slow laptops - the worst.

They are all we have in school. There are no track pads!

Remember good old

AIM? We thought we were so cool

when we chatted online.

We all have iPods!

Beats by Dr. Dre - Really?

Capitalism!!!

Records and cassettes

are completely obsolete.

How totally sad.

No one likes PCs.

Apple corporation is

the most popular.

iPhones are very

fashionable. Everyone

seems to have their own.

Voice recognition

It’s in cars, phones, everything. What if you mumble?

I hate Facebook games. Farmville is the dumbest one.

Thank God that’s over.

Instagram worth a

billion dollars? Not even

The New York Times is.

Do you want to know

the weather? the time? the news?

There’s an app for that.

Page 5: 101 Haikus

Everyone is

leaving Facebook for Twitter.

Tweeters are upset.

What would we all do

if there was no internet?

I think I would die.

Googledocs saves me

from having to use flash drives.

I love this so much!

Tumblr: blog platform.

Post and reblog what you want. A revolution!

Facebook connects you

with people you love and hate.

Is it good or bad?

Express yourself in

One hundred forty letters

Twitter is crazy.

YouTube’s slogan is

Broadcast yourself, but never

Peruse the comments.

Gmail: free email!

Convenient for all students. Google, you’re the best.

Sparknotes, our savior. Helps students everywhere.

“No fear Shakespeare” rocks!

Food

Chocolate ice cream - yay!

Hershey’s syrup pouring down

Chocolate chips galore!

Spaghetti, meatballs

Red tomato sauce on top

Twirl it on your fork.

Macaroni! Cheese!

Kraft, Velveeta, it’s all good. Soft cheesy delight.

McDonald’s: fast food

Salads worse than their burgers

What a paradox.

The classic sandwich:

Peanut butter and jelly

So very simple.

Oreo cookies

Everyone knows milk loves them

Dip them as you please

Funnel cake is good.

Sprinkled with powdered sugar. Not good for your health.

Waffles for breakfast. Whipped cream, syrup, blueberries

So many toppings!

Had a cheeseburger

for my lunch the other day. It was delicious.

I could never be

a vegan. No animals?

It’s not possible.

Page 7: 101 Haikus

Chinese takeout is

my favorite takeout food.

Noodles and rice. Yay!

Pizza and french fries.

Cheese and tomato sauce are

the best things ever.

Middle of the day

is snack time - Doritos, chips.

Salty foods are best.

We eat breakfast, lunch,

and dinner. They are all good

but breakfast is best.

Chewing gum is great. Bubblegum or minty gum.

Equally awesome.

Pepsi vs. Coke.

It’s the eternal debate. Everyone calm down!

Music / Movies / Books / TV

I hate Nickelback.

“But why?” said no one...ever. They are terrible.

Boy bands are in style. I thought that was done for good.

Over in a year.

I’m way too hardcore.

No one shares my music taste. Country is awful.

Country is awful. Mostly about religion.

Christianity.

On the radio

a popular station is

Q102. Ugh.

Katniss Everdeen. Boy with bread - Peeta Mellark.

Amazing movie.

The Avengers smash

the records - Harry Potter?

Can’t wait till the next!

Sparkling vampires

Birth scene - unrealistic.

Bella drank blood, ew.

Game of Thrones - complex.

Overly violent and gross. Still want to read it.

Philip Philips wins

American Idol, the

worst season ever.

Page 9: 101 Haikus

Revenge is awesome. Twists and turns in every show.

Can’t wait till next year!

Twenty-twelve London

Olympics. Michael Phelps is

back. America!

The Woman in Black. Terrifying, but so weird.

I think I cried some.

Page 10: 101 Haikus

Seasons

Eighty-six one day,

Fifty-four and rain the next. I don’t get seasons.

Summer’s almost here. Very quickly approaching.

I can’t wait for it.

Melting in the sun

Laying on the beach tanning. Let’s go for a swim.

Leaves are falling now. They already changed colors.

They’re done for the year.

Brisk, cold gust of wind

Rolls through your hair, don’t worry

Your jacket is warm.

Autumn involves change. Summer’s done, trees lose their leaves

You’ll change yourself, too.

Blue and grey and white

What do these remind you of?

I can surely tell.

Ice and snow plague us

We shove it aside like trash.

It is not our place.

Shivering always

Winter ups the heating bill That is the worst part.

Spring is fresh and free. Nature is yearly renewed.

Gardens start to grow.

Page 11: 101 Haikus

Come alive once more

One more season of springtime.

Before summer hits.

Green is everywhere

Flourishing, thriving, growing

Feeling so alive.

Page 12: 101 Haikus

Politics

Romney hates women.

Has dislike for birth control What is going on?

The war on women

It’s not the fifties, people.

Don’t go back in time.

A controversy

over Obama’s birth place. Seriously, guys?

Oh Mitt, we hate you

But Santorum is much worse

In fact, they both suck.

And we can’t forget

Newt Gingrich, sounds like a

lizard-like creature.

Mitt Romney again

His father was born in a

Mormon colony.

Far-right extremists

crazy, in my opinion. They hate everyone.

Politics, the art

or science of government.

But complicated.

Page 13: 101 Haikus
