In my 11 year olds language course he had to write a Haiku. If you don’t know what a haiku is, it’s a form of poetry originating in Japan and is usually written about nature and gives a picture in your mind by use of its words. A haiku always has 3 lines and 17 syllables. The first and third lines have 5 syllables and the middle line will have 7.
Anyway, my son really took to this and even went as far as writing some just for fun. I was very impressed with them and I know it meant a lot to him when I asked if I could publish a few on my blog.
The leaves falling fast.
The wind bending trees and grass
With flowers flying.
The moon shining bright
The stars sparkle at the dawn
The sun says goodnight
The rain is falling
The blue skies are coming soon
Rainbows in the sky
The birds are singing
The bees are buzzing around
As the flowers bloom
He wrote quite a few more but these are my favorite. What do you think? Let him know your favorite one.
Have a lovely day my friends.

I love his haiku! Very talented!
ReplyDeleteI love these!! Way too hard to pick one...so I'll pick two. The last one, about birds and flowers, means Spring is coming. I love when the flowers are blooming again. Also LOVE the third one about rain and rainbows. Sums up God's promise in just a few words, I love it!! Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteLove! :) I'm with Angel, not easy to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I would pick #2. :)
ReplyDeleteI love my nephews! :)
Wow, these are magnificent! I love the 2 in the middle the best. They really put a beautiful picture in my mind.
