This is from a few years ago when I was trying to explain haiku to seventh graders on a beautiful spring day much like today. Anyways, the fire alarm went off and we all filed outside to await the all-clear from the fire department all of which inspired this…
ahhh, spring sirens call
outdoors birds singing… lovely
good day for bomb threat
(Probably not really a haiku either.)
That’s going to be my new morning mantra. Better than playing “Welcome to the Jungle” on my commute into work. You gotta love false-alarm fire drills.
