Okay, my students are reaallly looking forward to the end of April. It's hard to find those as enthusiastic as I am about poetry. Ah, well.
But haiku? That was a hit this week. A short form of poetry anyone can do! YES!
Quick lesson: A haiku is 3 lines of unrhymed poetry, with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the last line. Also, it is written in present tense -- gives it a good punch.
Here are two of mine:
April
Dirty skies above
Squishy mud under my feet
Oh spring, where are you?
Aaron
Tall man in the woods
Looking for a deer to kill
So cute in camo :)
