snapshots with Lyles & Hall
I’ve been enjoying the Snaphsots Haiku Journal (from Liverpool,
England) and want to share a sampling by two of our favorite
Honored Guests:
backstroke . . .
the undersides
of alder leaves
bronze sundial
the junco cocks his head
from V to VII
sunlit shallows
a frog burrows deeper
into the mud
Carolyn Hall from Snapshots
“backstroke . . .” Snapshots 9
“bronze sundial” & “sunlit shallows” Snapshots 10
history lesson
slowly the caged eagle
turns our way
mayflies
spin between us . . .
a lost thought
a new term
clear water tumbles
over stones

05-05-05: Be nice to your favorite pinata today. Viva! Cinco de Mayo.
There was an interesting guest post yesterday at Legal Ethics Forum by
Prof. Larry Fischer (Southwestern U. Law School) on “The Difficulties
of Teaching Legal Ethics.” Fischer asks why the course can’t get no respect.
The post and most of the comments are thoughtful (via The Fedster)
The discussion at LEF makes me wonder yet again about the
meaning of responses given in the massive and costly new “Law
School Survey of Student Engagement,” which is described in the
NYLJ article, “New Survey Tackles Complex Questions About
Law Schools,” May 2, 2005. For example: NYLJ says that a “positive
result” of the law student survey is the finding that “76 percent were
satisfied with their schools’ emphasis on law practice ethics.” Another
so-called positive result: “82 percent were encouraged to learn by
applying classroom theory to practical problems.” Please, don’t
try this at home, boys and girls!
