Haiku Review ( burn out edition)

Kids are stressing out

Teachers have no time to prep

Unsustainable

When will we realize

That collective grief is real?

Unsustainable

We aren’t the same as

Eighteen months ago. This is

Unsustainable

A personal note

I applied to be mentored

For my manuscript

However, sometimes

I feel despair in my heart

And that can be tough.

But then, there are times

I feel a great sense of joy

Like all will work out.

Activists for Earth

Are being killed at high rates.

While we turn blind eyes

Flooding will not stop

Unless we change our habits

Is that possible?

Mask-less kids roll by

Uh-oh, guess what? They have Covid

No one quarantines.
