Haikus #5 and #6

Tonight I had really hard time writing something funny. Tomorrow I leave for college and I won't see a lot of people for a few months - which really isn't the worst thing ever on the list of possible heartwrenching stuff that could happen.

So here's one haiku that's actually a little serious and a haiku that's FOREAL. (it's not easy to think of a title for something meaningful unless it has something to do with nature, politics, babies or some other similar sentimental crap - so that's that... not going to explain)

Miss a turn/move 3 spaces back
I, dreading goodbye,
Exhale to gain composure
(comes out like a sigh)

Teenager at a graduation party
People, wagging their smiles
at my scared, spastic presence
are not comforting.
