On reading assignment instructions.
My previous post (”Fun With Haiku“) was my initial attempt at writing a haiku for my Poetry Writing class. Silly me, I hadn’t actually read the instructions, which required a completely different set of haiku. I don’t normally write haiku, let alone a collection of thirteen, so I’m not going to complain about the result. As it turned out, it’s probably a good thing I didn’t read the instructions, they resulted in much more boring haiku:
lilypads on river
glitter with molten diamonds
wind on upturned face
boulders tumble through
glass funnel – silica mound
the swiftness of time
pearls of lcd
ocean of data glowing on
concentrating minds
