bad wednesday morning haiku


I.

vince guarldi, good
coffee, enough sleep--still blue.
endlessly grading.


II.

ungraded essays
sit like the unwanted gifts
aunt edwina gave.


III.

gray, cold rain. stubborn,
dying semester. useless
meetings. weeping soul.

    I also enjoyed Aunt Edwina.

    If you find a way to finish this semester off, Greta (and/or Cynic), please let us know. A holly stake, perhaps? That would be appropriately festive, and relatively easy to procure at this time of year. I admit it's partly my fault (I'm behind on final grading), but, even after I get grades in, my semester is showing signs of becoming undead -- requests for incompletes are popping up in my inbox with considerably more frequency than usual.

    ungraded essays
    sit like the unwanted gifts
    aunt edwina gave.

    and like her presents
    back into boxes, re-wrapped
    TA's joy next year
