HAIKU

In our studies on Asia, we learned about the Haiku. They are the easiest type of poetry around-no rhyming-not even complete sentences-just 3 lines-5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. I wrote one to use as an example and then Kenyon and Jacinta each wrote one. This is what we came up with.

WEEDS!
Wispy, Feathery
grow unrulely everywhere
weeds, ANNOYING weeds!


Jacinta's Snake
Awesome pear shaped head
long, sleek, elegant body
slithers through the grass.


Kenyon's Tree
Colossal branches
Majestic, Tremendous trunk
leaves blow in the wind.
