#HaikuCommute
This week, we asked you, our readers, to write a series of haiku that follows your commute to work or school during the day. We had a huge response to this prompt, see some of the responses below! #haikucommute
If you’re inspired, join the fun and write your own #haikucommute in the comments below or share on twitter with @TSHighSociety!
Kat Barnes (Chapel Hill, NC):
A hat collection
All that we are is plugged in
What is your Monday?
HaikuCommute by Kat Barnes
Will Brown (Clemson, SC):
Rain rain go away
Come again another day
My pants are now wet
Bus please don’t be late
I need a ride to campus
Wait, it came early?
I’ve no parking pass
I’ve no bus to pick me up
Time to start walking
Laura Windley (Durham, NC):
Running late again
Someone ran a red light then
Pulled a Pittsburgh left
Slow down, everyone
We’re all going to get there
Regard our safety
Doesn’t matter here
Whether there’s a lane or not
Speed up and cut off
Construction zones a-
bound around cones, trucks, holes, two-
way down one way street
Nelle Cherry (Fall River, MA):
Snow snow go away.
Please don’t come another day.
You are unwelcome.
Blankets and coffee.
Forever pajama day.
Avoiding windows!
Movie marathon
Harry Potter, furry friend.
Infinite coffee.
Mike Legenthal (Boston, MA):
*Where* are my slippers?
At last! Coffee’s in my mug
And my butt’s on the couch.
(It’s good to work from home during the day)
Kealy Devoy (Boulder, CO) :
Digging up the street;
can’t get out of the driveway;
going to be late.
Double left turn lanes
are fun, but this isn’t one.
Oh, he doesn’t care.
Sun shining on the
Flatirons so perfectly;
great things lie ahead.
Miranda Propst (NC):
Recent graduate.
Interview is in a week.

Michael Quisao (Washington, DC)
Running up a hill
54 or an S bus?
Makes no difference though.
Yellow line, cold seat
My neighbor smells like armpit
Cross the Potomac!
Flash my ID card
Escalate at Pentagon
Get lost at least twice
Kat Barnes (Chapel Hill, NC):
My favorite thing is
Looking out across the lake
In my window seat
Red, yellow and blue
Striking beauty in the clouds
Beneath it, dreary.
SWA Commute by Kat Barnes
Molly McGowan Gorsuch (Hendersonville, NC):
Left the Sunshine State
five years past; I’m still flanked by
Florida drivers.
Caution is okay
on roads wet from the drizzle.
Ten under is not.
Tim Jewett (Durham, NC):
Roll out of my bed
Get some breakfast before work
Then go back upstairs
Kirk Eisenbeis (NC):
What was a Mini jump,
The Man is changing to a
common underpass
Sarah White (Durham, NC):
The sun isn’t up.
Monday: Smooth drive, slight traffic.
Breakfast? Coffee? Sigh…
