Haiku Hacking

Boredom's tentacles,
Spread cancerous on campus;
So I write haikus.

And thus are born some haikus about ISB and the campus. No prizes to be won for guessing what the haikus are about. For the un-initiated, a haiku contains 17 syllables, with 3 metrical units of 5, 7 and 5 syllables.

1.

Winter walks away,

Another term ends too soon;

An endless cycle.

2.
Placement season ends,

Kids lose interest in class;

Another term awaits.

3.
Summer serves notice,

The calendar’s end is nigh;

Reality calls.

4.
Two slender wine goblets,

Tall they stand on horizon;

Three will be a crowd.

5.
The twin phalli rise,

Like Tolkein’s twin towers of yore;

A third one rises too.
