I have a gun, a

to go back to jail!

I'm so fancy
I'll snap a selfie
and the mirror - my best friend
Like me, baby, now!

I just wanna go.
Big city calling for me
Summer is over.

Excuse my absence

Orientation
at my college might be more
demanding than class!

Slacklining

Being closer to
the ground does not cause fear to
just evaporate.

What should I say now?
Seventeen pieces of word.
Let's just keep it going.

Coffee, wifebeater
Fuzzy slippers, why do I
have to change clothes?

Not blastproof cookware; aka "Dear diary, I'm feeling homicidal today"
Today I ate rice

I have emerged...

I have emerged from
the void. There's no Internet
access in the void.

Bates College AESOP (Annual Entering Student Outdoor Program)

We met for the first
time on this island, and there
are many more times.

Portland, Maine

Skylines peak out of
the ocean's maw as waves stop
chewing on my boat.

Casco Bay

The water is calm
on this side, but that is the
ocean's trickery.

Peaks Island

I left my raincoat
on the ferry, but this land
is a greater gift.

Wash

What is the meaning
of this foul language?! There
is danger in such.

Stay Cool

Treasure this phrase, for
its future use will only
be mocking in Maine.

it takes much more than that, practice is a lie
"Balls" and confidence;
Speaking 'bout relevant stuff;
Creative ideas.

Doing the same old -
Disaster- just gives birth to
twins and clones. "Failure".

it's much more than just making sure you're efficiently repeating your steps. I'd rather dance to my grave than just march. Left. Left-right-left.

London Staying
Studying abound
In the United Kingdom
It's a brand new world...

Syria is Closer Now
#helpisontheway
You wonder what powers you
Have now that you know...

Focusing
I use Silent Hill.
Pyramid Head ain't got shit
On my professors...

Politics and Economics
...Huh? What? Eh? How the--?
Lost in a sea of numbers
And worldly systems.

I Forgot...

(to remember on
the day of not forgetting)
to write a haiku.

Federer and Djokovic

"We all know who will
win," my roommate says. But no...
we really don't know.

The Light

This thread like a light
to turn to after the dark.
I walk out of caves.

Donald Trump's Wife

Trump blames Jeb's wife for
policy decisions, yet
his is much too young.

Fiorina Wins

The debate is hers
for the taking, and Trump says
she's beautiful too.

To-Do List

Productivity
on the rise. First item: get
earbuds untangled.

Edamame

Skeptical of this
exotic word, I still will
make the healthy choice.

Art Start-up

I still know very
little about art...which may
prove for the better.

Rolling down the street

Sipping on gin and juice, and

Smoking on indo.

Madness

Let this return be
to madness and for madness...
Madness Day, that is!

Fresh Souls

Fresh souls have haunted
this thread. I'm the one who does
the haunting 'round here. >:D

You're Bleeding

Splattering the walls,
a sign of a long night spent
in agony's wake.

Ben Carson and Muslims

The two would not like
to be stuck together at
the base of a well.

Hey! It's been a while.
Sorry about my absence.
Hope I may atone.

Here's a brand new one.
It reflects my recent thoughts.
It's quite personal.

But while personal,
I feel also good advice
forever, for all.

So here I go now,
but this won't be regular.
Sorry in advance.

Also, a shout out
to @TaintedLogic for his
continued haikus!

Really man, you're awesome, thanks for keeping the thread going and being around since the start!

Spotter
Even with someone
close by your side, there’s still no
excuse to let go.

Without interval,
awkward moments never ceased.
Inured I still stand.
