Little Eddie Markowski must have been one of those kids
who finished every test waaaay ahead of the rest of the class,
and then got an A+. As an adult, he creates mountains of
enjoyable (and even admirable) haiku and senryu faster than
your teenage son polishes off a quart of orange juice — often,
in between performing his other workplace duties. (Yes, I am
envious.)
Inspired by today’s back to school sale posting, Ed has
peppered its Comment box with a steady stream of poems.
I suggest you click here to enjoy all of them. Here’s a sampler
of his homework on this first evening of the school year:
first day of school
the bus arrives
with fresh graffitti
first day
my first apple
bruised
second day
my second apple
a granny smith
new dress code
the entire basketball team
tattooed
blackout
candlelight flickers
on her history book
