Girlku

So there's a bulletin board set aside in the lounge upstairs for haiku about what it means to be a girl--appropiately named Girlku. For anyone who doesn't know, haiku is a form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines, the first of which has five syllables, the second of which has seven syllables, and the last line which has five syllables again. Apparently, there's a book (or something) about boys called Guyku, and a couple of girls in my dorm wanted to be sure that girls were represented, hence they have started a board where we can post any haiku we come up with. These are my contributions:

Girl

Purple painted toes

Mud fights, coy kisses, roses

Grass stained knees

and on a more somber note:

Growing Up

Handsome Prince Charming,

Glass slippers and pixie dust

Fade as red dawn breaks.

Laugh, Love, Live.

(And yes, I know I am posting this at almost 5 in the morning, and I am as disappointed as you are.)
