We will be doing haiku this week, and as I have the Monday off because of the snow (yet again), I thought I'd practice a bit.
I.
Petals from grey clouds
floating down to grace the earth
blanket all with white
II.
Frigid flakes melt
on my cheek, not to blanket
the cold, barren ground
III.
Snowflakes like dancers
flit and giggle while children
slip and slide on sleds
IV.
Winter is a long
bedtime in which the world sleeps
to awake in Spring
The hardest part for the kids is going to be coming up with similes and metaphors for their haiku and keeping the 5, 7, 5 syllable count. Hopefully they will be up to the challenge!
