Reader Submission: A Finals Haiku

Posted by on May 9, 2010 at 11:25 pm

From Noice reader “Anon Ymous”:

Title: How my blockmates study.

A: Study is not fun
My attention it does lack
My wish is to sleep

Later…

A:So silly finals
I do not like them one bit
Just give us all As.

Yet later…

A:To my Professors
You are so dear to my heart
Let’s not have exams.

C: I cannot read this.
Where’s my attention span gone?
Time to check email.

A:Finals period:
Full of pain and misery
Please make it be done.

Later…

A: Let’s forget exams,
And I’ll give you my haikus
Won’t that count instead?

C: I’m afraid it won’t.
As much as we may daydream,
We must take exams.

We appreciate reader submissions. Submit your thoughts, haikus, whatever to thehvoicemail@gmail.com. GODSPEED WITH FINALS.

Harvard Haiku: Reasons to Appreciate Being Back

Posted by on March 23, 2010 at 12:06 am

At least it’s Cudi
And not some nineties hacks like
Chumbawamba, meh.

At least it’s light rain
and not some torrential crap.
Sorry New Jersey.

At least it’s HUDS food
and not the scraps the dog gets.
Oh. My b, it is.*

At least it’s Harvard
and not yo’ mama.
Funny? Nope, I’m so serious I’m not even counting syllables right now.

*Just kidding. We love you HUDS staff. Stay classy.

Harvard Haiku: Exam Edition

Posted by on December 16, 2009 at 3:17 pm

This week, adding to our online anthology, some poems on the bitterness of a transient existence. Just remember that first of Four Noble Truths? “Life is suffering.”

Know why I am screwed?
900 pages to read.
Ugh, English Major.

Know why I’m not screwed?
I was done a week ago.
Yay for VES.

Procrastinating,
By writing haiku poems:
A dumb idea.

Fetal position.
I will take my exam in
Fetal position.

Harvard Haiku: No Pilgrims Here, Just Some Foreign Kids

Posted by on November 24, 2009 at 9:07 pm

Give thanks this year for brevity! Noice wishes you happy travels (or non-travels) this Thanksgiving  with its fourth installment of Harvard Haiku. This time with 36% more tryptophan!

International:
It means I will be alone
All friggin’ weekend.

Airport arrivals,
My mom will probably say,
“Harvard made you fat.”

Four days with the fam,
No clam chowder on Friday.
How will I survive?

Black Friday, it’s on.
If only Neiman Marcus
Would take Crimson Cash.

Harvard Haiku: Halloween Edition

Posted by on October 31, 2009 at 10:49 am

Reminder to Us Culturally Insensitive College Kids

When for Halloween
You dress like Pocahontas
A kitten will die.

Heaven and Hell

Orgo midterm done,
Sudden freedom means parties:
Let’s go to the Quad.

The Morning After

Halloween’s over
Hangovers and walks of shame–
Hello, Sunday brunch.

Harvard Haiku: The Inaugural Edition

Posted by on September 19, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Because brevity can make you feel so tingly inside.

Because brevity can make you feel so tingly inside.

The first in our anthology of Harvard Haiku. It’s the perfect weekend break from the long-winded BS you’ve been making your entire academic life.

Powerful grey locks
And such sharp business attire
Drew Faust is a fox.

One who knows little–
Like that loud guy in section–
Should really shut up.

Waking up, still drunk.
Linkmate is in my PJs…
Blech, did we hook up?
