I Haiku... Do You?

Today, Ms. Rodriguez taught us about haikus, which are Japanese poems. Haikus only have three lines, and the difference from other poems is that it has to have 17 syllables. There are many ways to do it but we learned this way is the easiest:

Line One: 5 syllables Line Two: 7 syllablesLine Three: 5 syllables

Next, we had to write a few of these poems in our class journals. I really liked the haikus I wrote, so I raised my hand to read mine out loud in class. Scary! But, I remembered the advice I got from BSG fans: I took a few deep breaths and told myself that no matter what anyone said, I’d still believe my poems were GOOD. And guess what—I was totally fine! My voice didn’t even shake! It made me feel so much better when people said they felt embarrassed in school and had some of the same experiences I have been through.

Check out the haikus I read in class:

My dog is MartyLaughing, playing, and chasingWe are a good match
Moving here and thereWe lived in many housesBrookline is my home
Avery, KataniIsabel, Maeve, and MartyTogether always

you tell us ...

	I LOVE haikus! They are my favorite poems, because tehy are quick and easy to write, but can be filled with emotion. Here is one I wrote: Somewhere in my heart I will find a place for you A place just for you I hope you like it!

Here is my haiku:

Alone and confused
People tell me different things
But what is the truth?

I hope you like it! Sometimes I feel like this. I am told to be myself, yet am still discovering who I am. Most of my friends seem more confident than me. This is really confusing. I am told what to like, what to be like, yet still trying to be individual. It can be really hard to be more confident, less shy, and more honest, but I try hard every day!

	Haiku Whatever the winter Nestled in my chair, Warm, and cozy, delightful. Winter is here, now. Some prefer this, though. rain hits their intrepid soul. They desire that. Others incline this, They yearn to race the end. A nice, cool, winter. Whatever the winter, whatever one should do, stay true to what you beleive in, and you'll find a golden clue.

skywriterchill writes:

My Haiku to you: ( No title please)

Randomly singing,
happiness falls upon me,
Dancing down the streets.

bells are a ringing,
burst out with dauntless joy now
dancing down the streets.

Dancing is joyous,
You dance full of happiness,
Dancing down the streets.

Hope you like the poem!!

P.S. Dancing can also show fear or anger. Dancing is feeling, There are more feelings than happiness.
But in this poem, happiness is just an example and it's supposed to brighten your spirits.

I am who I am
I sparkle,shine and smile
I'm me, i like it

I'm in a daydream
Watching the eagals soar
flying, flying soar

I was running late
Then the final bell rang, ding!
It was my alarm

Boom! Boom! The thunder
dark! the power's out, pitch black
The moon is our light

Icky, gross school lunch
Once again, your on my tray
School lunch, go away!

I don't feel so well!
What?! No school! Thanksgiving break?!
Bye! I'm out the door!
