Haiku

Today, I taught my United Cerebral Palsy students the Haiku. I wrote a few myself on the way to work. (Note: Ours do not follow the 5-7-5 pattern).

These crippled bones

on the subway

won't someone give me a seat?

Give me candy 

to sweeten 

my bitter son.

Birds drift in light

outside

cathedral windows.

Dear Library,

I lost the books.

Go ahead, charge me.
