Shanti has been lame
Not writing to his friends and
Not calling either

School causes much stress
I'll be student forever
No sleep makes me dumb

Grumbling stomach pain
I consume nummy cookies
All is wonderful.

Books upon more books
Endless reading on the couch
Delicious stories

I speak in cat tongues
They look on me with disdain
Accent must be wrong.

I ponder future
Deciding more work, less poor
Poverty harsh lord

Moving is a pain.
Hope a new location will
Give great happiness

I'd never trade you
for California rolls
even if on sale.

For random topics
Haiku is appropriate
bad grammar OK.
