Teen Totes – haiku by Dennis Lange

—
Booktakers
Are backpacks stuffed. And,
Backbreakers.

—

Build the mind
While toting all books –
Break the back.

—

No lockers?
Yes, lockers. But they
Would take time.

—

Why the weight?
So there’s no wait to
Socialize.

Walking together

When, In Disgrace (Sonnet 29) by William Shakespeare

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
…For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
…That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
