My mind wanders aimlessly.
Pure relaxation.

A Haiku Tribute to Jonas
Last year, a magnificent student began an email haiku extravaganza with me. It was amazing. We wrote I don't know how many emails back and forth all written completely in haiku. I love the creativity, love of words, and images in this idea. In Jonas's honor, my next post is a haiku.

Homework
Rachel Newman Pd3
I can not stand it,
ReplyDeletePoems are so boring to
read and write them. Cookies.
I'm in the big school
library doing homework,
don't procrastinate.
This is off topic but I just remembered Mrs. Newman's Jaberwaky poem:
Twas brilling, and the slithy toves did gire and gimble in the wabe, all mimsy were the borogrove, and the momewrats at grabe. Beware the jaberwok my son, the jaws the claws that smatch, beware the jub jub bird and shun the frumios bandesnatch. He took his vorbal sword in, long time the long time th manxome foe he sought,
so rested he by the tum tum tree and stood a while in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood the jaberwock with eyes of flame came wiffling through the tugley wood and burbled as it came. One two one two the vorpal blade went snicker snack, he left it dead and wit it's head he went galumphing back. And has thou slayed the jabberwock come to my arms my beamish boy. O frabjus day calloh callay. He chortled in his joy. Twas brilling, and the slithy toves did gire and gimble in the wabe, all mimsy were the borogrove, and the momewrats at grabe.
Mrs. newman can brainwash anybody. :)

The haiku* above
ReplyDeleteMade me nauseous. Then again,
Who am I to judge?
Jonas, however,
Is truly a king of the
Almighty haiku.
*Did anyone know
That the plural of haiku
Is haiku, as well?

PS- I think I have found
My healthiest addiction:
Posting on this blog.
*I meant the plural
form in my first haiku. I'm
not picking on "Craig."
Hey, Mrs. Powers
ReplyDeleteGreat, creative blog posting
Hope you get a laugh
You might chuckle now
At your students's expense
Oh well, so will we!
At first, so confused.
What are they talking about?
My mind in a haze
My very thoughts were:
Never am I going to
Write such a haiku
Yet, here I am now
Accomplishing that hard task
Where is my medal?
Just kidding around!
Hope you have a great weekend!
See you on Monday
-Diana Sanchez
Filled with inspiration
Thanks Mrs. Powers!
P.S.
Amazing work, Cat
As always, Spectacular!
Anyone could learn!

I am enjoying
ReplyDeleteReading haiku created
Like conversation.
Some attempt haiku
Without following the form
That's aggravating!
ps -
I hope these haiku do not add to Cat's nausea.
The taste of candy
ReplyDeletemakes me extremely hyper
I want some candy
Fruit is good for you
My favorite are strawberries
Please give me some now
Holidays are when
Mobs of crazy parent's shop
Looking for a toy
Children love presents
What's there not to like about presents
I for one love presents
During Hannukkah
Children love to spin dreidel's
And eat chocolate gelt
I love my cell phone
You can use the internet
You can also text
Some are stupid but all I could think of :/ I hope they weren't horrible............ (:

I just realized
ReplyDeletethe haicu's we are writing
can be rather strange.
Tyler Levinson Pr.6
You all realize that haikus are not necessarily the strict five-seven-five syllable pattern, right? Many other haikus define the seventeen japanese on by letters. The Japanese themselves realize that 17 of their on last for about 12 english syllables. The definition of a haiku, according to the Haiku Society of America,is "a short poem that uses imagistic language to convey the essence of an experience of nature or the season intuitively linked to the human condition."
ReplyDelete@KevinK806 I had heard that, but, then again, the way they teach it to us at school really is the five- seven- five syllable pattern. I guess it's just easier, too. My definition of a short poem can be different than yours and if not, everyone else would have pretty different poems.
ReplyDeleteSo what, Kevan "Kay"?
ReplyDeleteI love the traditional.
Don't confuse children.
As great as that is,
I want to write them this way.
Let us continue.
I am filled with bliss.
Everyone is partaking
In this writing form.
I feel oh so touched.
That came out kind of wrong, no?
Don't twist my haiku!
XP
There is just one thing:
Most of you botched up the form.
Note the five-seven-five.
All terrors aside,
This is thoroughly pleasing.
I hope to spy more.
Your vernacular
Should start getting much better
If you use good words.
Don't follow that one.
Good is not part of your best
Vocabulary.
Massive blog posting.
ReplyDeleteWay behind on everything.
There's so much to do!
The glitter glue shines.
On the desk it calls my name.
It is time to glue!
No clutter is safe!
My computer now glitters!
My hands are sticky.
Procrastinating.
Glitter drips from the ceiling.
Going to wash up.
I'm going to die,
For my parents will kill me!
Now I need a hose.
This has gone awry.
What was I writing about?
Everything sparkles.

End of the quarter,
ReplyDeleteLazy students blog,
Hoping for some extra points.
Perhaps Mrs. P.
Won't be as nice as you want.
What will you do then?
I'd like to sit back
And watch all those people see:
No "A", just that "B".
Not one single point,
not for any of you sloths.
Next time, blog sooner.
Alas, I do know
that my dream won't come true, for
Ms. Powers is kind.
