Little Eddie Markowski must have been one of those kids

who finished every test waaaay ahead of the rest of the class,

and then got an A+.    As an adult, he creates mountains of

enjoyable (and even admirable) haiku and senryu faster than

your teenage son polishes off a quart of orange juice — often,

in between performing his other workplace duties.  (Yes, I am

envious.)

 

Inspired by today’s back to school sale posting, Ed has     

peppered its Comment box with a steady stream of poems.

I suggest you click here to enjoy all of them.   Here’s a sampler

of his homework on this first evening of the school year:

 

 

 

 

first day of school

the bus arrives

with fresh graffitti

 

 

 

 

 

first day

my first apple

bruised

 

 

 

 

 

second day

my second apple

a granny smith

 

 

 

 

 

new dress code

the entire basketball team

tattooed

 

 

 

 

 

blackout

candlelight flickers

on her history book
