End of Semester Haiku
beautiful weather
cranky students and teachers
exam week is coming!
breakfasts and dinners
celebrate great and good things
every frickin' day
Surprise departures
resignations out of blue
like mushrooms in spring
students transfer to
amazing places, stop for
thanks, smiles abound
profs in grading jail
the one part of teaching that
I really don't miss
temper tantrums fly
yet are mercifully brief
who has energy?
papers on desk seem
to achieve self awareness
I name pile "Skippy"
search committees try
to wrap it up before June
so, good luck with that
amazed at colleagues
miracles on a shoestring
take a bow, people

kept awake at night
thinking about grades not done
nightmare every spring
student who writes me
"hoping for a C" did not
read the syllabus
suprise! a really
good paper from someone who
seemed average
making it hard to grade--
golf course just across the street,
warm, sunny morning.

I love those two! To contribute one of my own:
dissertation filed
last bill ever has been paid
must I grow up now?
