Three Haiku

Asked my students to try writing some haiku based on a field trip we took. (Called the poems hike-u since we were going on a hike.) Allowed them, and me, to give them titles that might work with poems, although traditional haiku usually don't have titles. Here are three I wrote on the bus ride to the hike.

       On the Highway

     Bulldozer faces
     backwards on the flatbed truck.
     Hello and good-bye.
                
            Equinox

        The first day of spring.
        The nursery is barren,
         But the snowdrops bloom.

             Passing Gas

         Cars carry dead beasts
         in their bellies, leaving us
         to choke on their farts.
