Five Poems to make you think

Alex Prong

UNB Limerick

There once was a university on a hill;

Their budget to spare was nil.

Broke students eat peanuts,

The art department gets cuts,  

But the president is stuffed to the gill.

UNB Haiku

Fall leaves turn, wither;

First-year weeps silently in

HIL’s dusty blue stacks.

UNB Acrostic

Minding my own business,

I

Drift from class to class.

Tremendously, the semester flows by.

Egad! I forgot that today, I am

Required to write a

Midterm.

UNB Cinquain

Look up…

from reading and

reading. A squirrel with

a nut, thesis that proves itself.

What joy!

UNB Couplet

At a crosswalk driver and pedestrian exchange a friendly wave,

little kindness between being hit by assignments again and again.
