For those who just can't get enough zombie haiku, I wrote these during a district training session last semester:
Enduring district
Training sessions turns teachers
Into zombie hordes
Reverse zombie-ism:
Giving seventh grade numbskulls
Life Monday morning
Hygienic zombies
Always floss with arteries
After every meal
Losing gray matter
Voluntarily won’t ward
Off pot head zombies
Actively engaged
Students are more resistant to
Sudden zombie raids
The zombie brain lust
Proves difficult for teenage
Hemispheres to slake
Teachers are easy
Targets for zombie feasting
After P.T.C.
Ah, yes! I remember the boredom well. My favorite is the last one about PTC.
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Anson:
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your post "More Zombies" where you have multiple zombie haikus, even though I am slightly disgusted by the imagery. I liked them because they made me laugh.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "Reverse Zombie-ism/Giving 7th grade numskulls/ Life Monday morning." I think this is an apt description because I know how difficult it can be to get students' attention in the morning. It is not an easy task, especially because sometimes I am very tired Monday morning too.
Another sentence that made me squirm was: "Hygienic zombies/Always floss with arteries/After every meal." Gross! This created such a strong picture in my head of a zombie flossing that it made me shudder. Ick. I want to keep all my arteries INSIDE my body.
Your haikus remind me of something that happened to me. One time my friend wanted to make a movie about the end of the world and everyone turning into zombies. A whole bunch of people dressed up as zombies and chased me as I ran through the streets of Provo for the movie. It was fun.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I really enjoy seeing all the creativity you have. I'd also like to see if you come up with anymore zombie haikus, because they make me laugh.
