Shannon’s having a fun contest today. Why not sharpen your number 2′s and fire off a few back-to-school haiku? You must enter today before 8pm CST. Here are mine:
Pencils with sharp points,
four black dry erase markers,
One large box of Puffs.
four black dry erase markers,
One large box of Puffs.
On the night before,
walking sounds like such a good
idea. Not now.
“Mom, my tummy hurts.”
(I will miss you when I’m gone).
What’s a mom to do?
Fluffer nutter sand-
wich, pretzels, and a pudding.
Better than hot lunch.
No long socks at gym.
Teacher demands perfect jump-
ing jacks. I’m tired, Mom.
I should begin by saying that I enjoy my work (I teach). However, the first week back is always a bit of a shock to the system and I couldn’t resist writing this.
Back-to-School Haiku
Like a cold bucket
of water, sloshed in my face:
back to work next week!
Oh those are great!!! How DO you come up with these
What’s a Haiku, you ask? What an excellent question!
A Haiku is a poem that first appeared in the 16th century. It is very popular in Japan. Short in nature, Haikus are generally three lines, with a total of 17 syllables. The first line has five, the second seven, and the third five again.
The Haiku usually describes a moment in time, a sensation, or an impression of a specific event. You do not tell a story with a Haiku, but rather create the feelings that are associated with an event. With your words, the reader will form an image of what that event was like.
hope this helps,

Dear Mikey,
Let’s start again, shall we? You are charming and I’m sure you would never plagiarize anyone’s work or hack into anyone’s accounts. Thanks for your comments on this post. Let’s see…a haiku from a child’s point of view:
School starting today
Glad to see my friends, but I
really hate homework.
Walking with my friends,
but suddenly, the bell rings.
Got to go to class!
Well is this haiku correct ?? i made it …
The twinkle at night,
Sprinkled diamonds above
Shine ! Oh stars how kind ..
?_? ♥
I love it!
If you change the second line to “sprinkled like diamonds above,” it will fit the 5,7,5 syllable haiku format.
