Haiku Poems

A Haiku poem has 3 lines. The first line is made up of 5 syllables, the second line is 7 and the third is 5.  The Haiku is difficult to write as the children have to count the syllables before they start writing. Some words are made of only 1 syllable while others have multiple sounds. The children can only use a minimal number of words to create their poem.

Their Autumn Haiku poems are very creative. Enjoy.

Blowing, windswept leaves
fiery red, yellow, gold 
dance and swirl and glide
by Kingston

Fire red, crimson, leaves
crunching, crinkling, under feet
Autumn leaves are great
by Sebastian

Amber orange leaves
swirling in the Autumn wind
soon they'll fly away
by Israel

Sunset orange trees
vibrant twirling, swirling leaves
falling like gold snow.
by Tea

Parachuting leaves
fiery, crimson, gold, red leaves
glide and sky dive down.
