For class this week, we had to bring in some poems that we liked and also write one of my own. I thought this would be a very hard task for me, but fortunately the poem flowed right out.

I brought in the poem Forgetfulness by Billy Collins because I could really relate to the poem. I may change to the poem I wrote how it is structured to add emphasis on it. We also got our folktales back which I decided that I am totally going to scratch mine and just start over from a completely new point of view, and add different details. This Monday wasnt as bad as last Monday, thank God, but I still have a busy week ahead of me. Well, thats all for now :)
Here are my haikus
The Sun
The sun has fallen
Over the brightly lit sky
We danced all night
The Trees
The trees blossom late
The flowers wait patiently
Until the day breaks
The Birds
I can hear them call
Right before the branches shake
From the birds great fall

I liked that all of these were about different topics, but they all had some sort of unifying element, such as the rhythm or rhyme. My favorite was "The Sun." You did a nice job of painting a descriptive picture with very few words.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your haikus, they were very creative and descriptive. I liked them because they had more of spring or summer feeling and got me off of thinking about snow and the cold winter weather. I liked the one about the birds the most. Really good job, it took me forever to figure out how to write my haikus and they were really plain yours are very descriptive and creative.
ReplyDeleteI almost missed your haikus! I really liked the first one also. The bird one was really good too :]
