I’m afraid we’re reaching that point in the semester! Winter break is right around the corner and I’m very ready to welcome it with open arms. Until then, however, enjoy a collection of a few choice haikus that I have written over the past couple of weeks. I generally recover from semester burn out after Thanksgiving as I can just see the light at the end of the tunnel. Finals are oh-so-close but regardless, maybe a few tired adults (or even teens) out there can relate as to my mood in recent days.

Do you think bees can burn out?
I’m sick of honey

Assigned Readings
Way too many books
Reading should not be a chore
Thank you, dear college

Sunrise
The sky is orange
It always is this early
I’m tired of orange

Two more years
Senioritis? No.
Junioritis. Just halfway.
Five more minutes please?

I Haven’t a Dime nor a Penny
Burn out. Burn out. Spent.
I am so completely spent.
I haven’t a cent.
