Haiku inventing,
count numbers: five, seven, five.
poem is created.
Little can't be said
in seventeen syllables
that needs to be heard.
I considered (the).
Seven word science fiction
but Haiku fell out.

My Heart Bleeds
As posted on Blarg!:
An over-reacting society has been created (again) overnight. Unfortunately, this leads to problems for anyone who worries too much and is blind. While the heightened security is appreciated by most everyone who attends or knows someone attending the university, perhaps they should focus their efforts more on teaching students to relieve anger and stress in a more appropriate way rather than teaching them to cower in fear in their dorm rooms because someone may have been spotted with a dangerous yoga mat or an umbrella on a rainy day. I don't mean this to read that we should not be afraid of a maniac with a gun, but to read that things may have been blown a bit out of proportion. It is not a pleasant truth to live with the fact that a shooting occurred, but it will be even less pleasant to live with the aftermath if we live our lives as if such a horrific event is an imminent threat. My heart bleeds for the friends and families of those taken on the 16th, however I do not believe that jumping to conclusions or living in fear is a good way to pay our respects to them.
