MiraCosta College Haiku's for Earth Day (22 April)

Oceanography 101, 9:30 AM Monday - Wednesday

From Heather Myers, 7 April 2010:
Done during ONE class!
  • transform, subduction
  • borders move under or slide
  • causing rough motion

  • geology guy
  • teaches about Earth, water
  • sometimes floating trash

  • Oceanography
  • was boring at first until
  • Mr. Farquharson

  • trash, plastic bottles
  • small particulate that fish
  • are eating to live

  • wavelength, crest, ride, rush
  • surfers ride windwaves to feel
  • like gods on water

  • waves slow down and break
  • when the top is faster than than
  • the bottom of it

  • let the rip current
  • take you to sea don't fight
  • it's too tiring

  • rogue waves can break ships
  • currents, energy can scare
  • frighten or destroy

  • D-day was picked to
  • have small waves, predication based
  • on prior storms, okay?

  • pollution will hurt
  • every living thing on Earth
  • even tiny fish

  • wind-driven waves are
  • a favorite of surfers or
  • oceanographers

  • crazy tangents help!
  • the class learned about surfing
  • on Lake Michigan...

  • crazy off-track speech
  • flotsametrics, saved trays
  • line basement railing

Thank you Heather for all you do - haiku!!!
