CHALLENGING COLLEGE STUDENTS TO A HAIKU DUEL

WOTS recently challenged some college students to a strange duel: write a haiku based on a random subject. We then tasked ChatGPT with the same prompt, and below are some of the more intriguing results.

“Adulting”

WINSTONAI
Age turns the pages by
A childhood once, now forgone
Now there’s nothing left
Bills and deadlines loom
Responsibilities blow
Adulting’s harsh tune

“TEST ANXIETY”

CHASEAI
Tests are very wacky
I dislike anxiety
I will cry from them
Paper stares, heart pounds
Ink and fear, a daunting blend
Test anxiety

“fall vibes”

SAMANTHAAI
Crisp air blowing
The pumpkins on the screen porch
Leaves crunching around
Crisp leaves in the breeze,
Autumn’s colors paint the trees
Fall vibes bring me ease

“PRIDE”

ELIZABETHAI
Pride is a prison
Killer of relationships
Destroyer of love
Pride in who we are
Colors shine with confidence
Love’s flag, we raise high

“PULLING AN ALL-NIGHTER”

REBECCAAI
The day never ends
Staying up all night is fun
Party all night long!
Clock’s relentless chime
Night’s dark hours in my grasp
Sleepless race with time

“HOMESICKNESS”

NATHANAI
Place of blood and bone
Home of all I call my own
Hold me there again
Distance makes heartache
Whispers of home’s warm embrace
Long for that place

“FIRST DAY OF CLASS”

KIRANAI
Meeting new friends
Finding our interests
Proud being a back bencher
New faces, bright halls
First day’s nervous excitement
Knowledge beckons us
