The Door Also Opens Inwards

A haiku written in response to a word prompt.

THE DOOR ALSO OPENS INWARDS (January 3, 2009)

We open our doors
With kindness in the spring-time
In winter we close

Exam Time (haiku)

This is a haiku I just wrote. It is of a modern haiku style - that is 5,7,5 and containing a kigo (season word). I'm unsure if haikus have titles though ... if anyone knows could you let me know. In the meantime I think I'll name it just for the ease of posting.

EXAM TIME (8 November, 2008)

Jacarandas bloom -
The students rush to and fro
Books trailing behind.
