Haiku after all has strayed from tradition, not only speaking on nature and the seasons! English and Japanese Haiku has kept the rhythm, 3 phrases, 17 syllables each (approximately), but is open to whatever subject matter you can think of.

Yeah! My first Haiku!
And I really loved the site that I found.
My favorite haiku was
"Teachers light a flame
But how long the fire burns
Is out of their hand"
By Stevie Gray, physical education teacher, Arlington,VA.
I look forward to writing more in this genre, and on education.

Teachers light a flame,
But how long the fire burns
Is out of their hands.
But how long the fire burns
Is out of their hands.
Angela,
ReplyDeleteI love that you're finding more haikus specific to what you want to write about, and that you're writing some yourself!
I especially love that you include these haikus in your blog posts; it's really cool to see your progress!
Happy writing!
Angela,
ReplyDeleteI hope this comment actually finds it's way to you, unlike last time haha!
Your haiku is great, that is so neat you're writing your own. I have always thought there was a beauty in the simplicity of haikus.
I'm so excited to see more of your haikus! It's such a cool genre to explore, and the final product is going to be really interesting! I'm also excited to see what aspects of education you choose to explore with this concise genre!
ReplyDeleteThese haikus are awesome. Even though they're short, writing GOOD haikus is surprisingly difficult. I love that you've captured moments in time and convictions you have about teaching in such a short space. Just lovely.
