Haiku
Yesterday, for Language Arts we learned about Haiku. This is the Japanese form of poetry. Each poem has three lines. The first line has a total of 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables, for a total of 17 syllables.
I thought it would be easier to teach if I showed Godzilla Boy some examples of my Haiku. So here they are:
From within our home
Love pulses from floor to roof
And we are happy.
***
The rich, umber smell
Of ground and perked coffee beans
Wafts throughout the room.
***
Deep from slumber past
I arise all warm and snug
Thinking of my dream.
***
A window darkened
No hues of red or purple
It was time to sleep.
***
And this is what Godzilla Boy created:
***
Alien come here
From your cool flying saucer
And come live with me.
***
Grey, white headed dog
Cute and runs around with me
I really love him.
***
Big, fierce, destructive
Blows up military trucks
Monster from the sea.
***
Dropping lots of time
Makes me feel good, really fast
When I swim today.
