Waiting it out sucks! In the meantime, let's write some haikai.

Waiting for letter.

Application decision.

Why oh so much spam?

[starofdawn]

You are accepted!

But, too bad, no scholarships

Pay with your first-born

[the_sheath]

I got accepted,

but it isn't my top choice.

I am ungrateful.

[HicklePickle]

The wait is so long,

The interviews seem endless,

I want to hear back!

[PsychGradHopeful14]

I refresh email

Compulsively, but now my

F5 key's broken

Rainy day today

Rainy todos los dias

I am growing mold

[Green Dino]

Ping!

Your online bill is now available.

Tears fall.

[MoJuiced]

The sky is dull gray

The birds do not show or sing

I wait for good news.

Peanut butter and sliced ham

On toasted wheat bread:

You may or may not like it.

[PhDerp]

Knock knock. "Who is there?"
Interrupting cow. "Inter-

...No, cow. Not this time."

[RM101]

If I am denied,

I hope it's not via phone;

That would be brutal.

Does sliced turkey work

On your sandwich? Because,

Jew equals no ham

[I am not sure yet]

Only one answer

That is all I ask

Before it's too late

[Green Dino]

Does sliced turkey work

Yes, indeedy Bob, it does.

In fact it's what I had today,

But wrote "sliced ham" instead of "turkey breast" because

 

I did not like the way

The first line would end in "breast"

And the second line in "bread," lest

 

It sound displeasing to the ear,

An admittedly silly fear.

[the_sheath]

I had never thought

I would want so much to be

Their sloppy seconds

Wind shakes the barley

A series of rejections

Shakes my hopes and dreams

Procrastinate our homework
