My haiku will bore
You will not like it at allAnd neither will I
11-yr-old
This haiku is not a haiku
And it is really super wrongAll the lines have eight syllables
12-yr-old
I'll tell a haiku
It has a giant mistakeAnd now for the one's they actually tried to make into real haiku. Haiku is actually supposed to be an observation of a tiny thought in the vast expanse of nature. These poems reflect the intended subject of Haiku:
12-yr-old
A tree's buds will burst
They turn into big green leaves
But soon they will fall
11-yr-old
A flower in bloom
Surrounded by all the grass
And tall trees around
9-yr-old
The fluffy bunny
Hopped around on the green grass
Later, we cooked it
My youngest wrote three actual nature haiku... This was the most pleasant one.
Addendum:
11-yr-old
The sad little fly
Oh no - he's a black fruit fly
His life just ended
Oh my -- I "love" every one of them (the haikus & the kids)! - Aunt Bernice
