Haiku Collection

by
Addison Sargent

Haiku has allowed me to enjoy writing. It has shown me to use creative thinking, which will be very helpful for me in the work setting. It has allowed me to express my emotions and feelings. It is honestly very therapeutic, and I will continue to Jot down haiku to help me.

I don’t think that emoji means
what she thinks it does

such a great day to . . .
be grateful for the ones we, 
see everyday

late stressful nights
up studying
it never seems to end

coffee
there when I need it
there when I don’t

i look . . .
at the tree
what is its story?

do they care?
some do
some don’t

first date
I am looking
for ways out

a bottle of wine
shared
with grandma

sleeping
through the night
What would that be like?

hot shower
time to think
about life

the night was great . . .
the next morning
not so much
