A post about a haiku

I haven't posted anything on this for ages. That could have something to do with the fact that my computer has been stuffing up internet wise, and I lost all my profiles and am still trying to find them. Stuff to add... School has been pretty rad at the moment, with everyone (or at least most of those who count) writing haikus. Mine aren't particularly good, but to anyone who understands them, they are awesome.

My spider

My friend the spider
visits sometimes. Living though,
he doesn't know how.

Colours

The sky is not red.
It is blue. My blood is red.
My blood can be blue.

Trees aren't blue or red.
They are mostly green and brown.
Blood mostly isn't

Water is quite odd.
Usually we see it blue.
Reflections deceive.

Left

Pale writing here.
Words on a page disappear.
No pale writing.

Time

Time, an illusion.
Doesn't exist, but is real.
It teases and taunts.

This is mostly it, or at least all I can remember.

Why not to commit suicide...

Just for Ben, I found this:

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

Irony

To travel around the world;
An accomplishment great.
To return and find
The reason gone.

Just a poem - what to call it?

Life, a game.
similarities bore.
A hunt,
love the quarry
arrows hit.
A hart wounded,
ichor looming
bloody tears of sadness.

Mid-semester tests

I'm just about dying from all the tests I have to endure. You would think that they would know our strengths and weaknesses in subject areas by now. At least most of the exams for the term are over and done with. I think that the hardest part about exams is that they all happen at once. I suppose it would be easier if I hadn't taken up a course at USQ as well as the maximum 6 subjects at school.
The easter holidays, although only a week away, sound unattainable because of the high intensity level of testing (and assignments - who could forget those!).
Unfortunately, I have to return to my study.
