The Writer’s Corner features poetry, essays, short stories, satire and various fiction and non-fiction from SCAD Atlanta students. This quarter we are starting a weekly haiku series. Haiku is a type of Japanese poetry with 17 syllables separated into three lines with each line having five, seven and five syllables respectively. It speaks a lot in the fewest possible words. To submit your own work for the Writer’s Corner, email features@scadconnector.com.
Weekly Haiku No. 3 by Paulomi Mukherjee
New Normal
Breathe in, sit down, calm
Don’t fight back, it’s not worth it.
Adapt, because there’s no other way
Don’t hold on, it hurts
Dont be afraid of the new
It might be better
Let go hon, be free
Find a new normal for you
I promise, it’s peace.
