Someone on the Library Think Tank FB group had the super fun idea of making up library Haiku.
Haiku are such a brilliant form of poetry, because they force you to pare down your sentiments to the bare essentials. They lend themselves well to humor but also to poignant, meaningful, and thoughtful reflections.
I find they are quite addictive to make. Here are some I came up with this afternoon:
That groaning squeaking
Is it the library ghost?
Just the creaking stacks.
“Libraries are dead”
he said, yet hadn’t
been in one in years
Precariously
Books sway in my grasping arms
One falls. My toe. Ouch.
Don’t pull the book cart
behind you as you’re walking
or you get torn heels
Friendly gentleman
Struggling with homelessness
You are welcome here.
Programs, access, fun
Singing children, books and tech
It’s a library.
