This week is UConn’s Spring Break, which has given me the time to dig through boxes upon boxes of elementary and middle school paperwork that my mother is saving for reasons I can’t understand.
Between science projects on static electricity and map quizzes where I managed to label half of the fifty states, I found a series of haikus our sixth grade teacher had us write. At the bottom she wrote, “Nice Images!” which feels a lot like a lie. Enjoy (maybe):
Lemonade
Today we bought some
lemonade which tasted good
but kind of sour.
Snow
The ground is covered
with snow and it is very
cold out this winter
Dreamcatcher
My dreamcatcher is
not doing its job because
I had a bad dream
Sky
The clouds are very
white today and puffy and
all different shapes
