A collection of Whimsical Haiku poetry

Midnight snack, Samantha Rearick
Peanutbutter man
He comes to me in the night
Tasty, Gooey, done.
Park Bench, Sharon Niedringhaus
Beneath the oak trees
Beside the flowing river
Two friends together.
A quiet call for help, Samantha Rearick
I did it again.
Writing uncontrollably
Help me- it won’t stop
Underappreciated, Sharon Niedringhaus
Able to scoop things
Like no other utensil
Yet not used often.
High School Hallways are like This, Samantha Rearick
Trying to squeeze by
I wish I wasn’t tiny
Getting late to class
MRI Scanner, Sharon Niedringhaus
Getting personal
What diseases might you have?
I’ll help you find out.
This isn’t what you think it is…, Samantha Rearick
Hey, you turn me on
When you walk in, light the room
Just don’t turn me off
Tin Foil is Wrong, Sharon Niedringhaus
I wrap up your food
But you don’t really know me
I’m aluminum.
The Week of Late February is Killing the Plants, Samantha Rearick
Oh wow! Look, it’s Spring!
Rising up to sun and-
Is that a snowflake…?
Recycling Bin, Sharon Niedringhaus
Trying to save the earth
Hey! Don’t throw that trash away!
Misconception hurts.
Facing your students like Richard Hartman, Samantha Rearick
Teaching your students
Discipline, through a yard stick
He’s always watching.
Door to Nowhere, Sharon Niedringhaus
You can go elsewhere
Just walk through this open door.
Oh, a broom closet.
Lord of Boards, Samantha Rearick
O’ mighty Whiteboard,
Come forth, bring us no more dust!
The Chalkboard is dead!
Fire Hydrant, Sharon Niedringhaus
I’m here to save lives
But it’s hard to be happy
When dogs pee on you.
It’s June, Samantha Rearick
This was a mistake.
I thought this pool would be warm.
It’s not August yet.
The Ballad of Lost Socks, Sharon Niedringhaus
I know you’re in there
There’s nowhere you could have gone
Now I just have one.
Self Control- Something I don’t have, Samantha Rearick
There’s one more cookie
I should really share with her.
Well, she isn’t here…
