Tu Haikus

Dull

Website designer, 
You put on your blinders, 
Take words from binders, 
Do your craft...

Danger Zone (Loser Zone)  

Hurried and Worried
Feeling like one is buried 
Everything seems scary
You are all alone 

X-Mas

Bursting with Joy...
A brand-new toy!!!  
What is it for???  
It does NOT matter anymore...  

Child  
Riding a bicycle, 
Graduating from the tricycle... 
Eating a popsicle, 
I celebrate!  

SCHOOL

Typing a document, 
What is it that you meant?  
All of the time you spent...
Was it in vain?  

Fight

Mediate a divorce, 
First, take a course... 
Your voice will grow coarse, 
Yelling and raising it with screaming matches...

Medicine

Burning out again, 
An amphetamine problem, 
I do NOT do much... 



Passed By 

First, you go too fast... 
Then, you end up being last, 
Life is a kick in the ass...

Loyalty

Crystal, my lover, 
I would NOT want another, 
Being a brother.  

Busted

The concert has stopped 
I have to go with the cops 
I hope that these charges get dropped 

Victim 

Locked out
Blocked out
Better yet, socked out
Assault is NOT my fault


Skipper

First come, 
First served, 
We all get what we deserve, 
Do NOT be a turd...

Girl 

Heard that you liked me?  
Just to spite me?  
You played your game, 
Driving me insane!  

Robot  

Remember the password?  
What is your favorite verb?  
Have NOT you heard?  
Internet security is absurd... 

Threat

Carry her purse, 
Treat her well OR-
You will end up in a hurst... 
What is worse?  
Then being cursed... 


Note 
I bet you will forget, 
All that you said, 
It is in your head, 
By the way you will soon be dead... 

Sufficient

Laptop computer, 
I am a user, 
I do NOT need a tutor, 
I do things myself... 

Shoot!  

College education, 
Stay in school, 
For this whole duration, 
I wonder about my placement, 
Will I end up in my parent’s basement?  
Fork!
