Haikus are one of the oldest forms of poetry. Originating in Japan, poets would describe a moment in nature to represent a lesson for humanity. The 5th and 6th grade poets from Ms. Murray’s class wrote their own Haikus with a ‘twist’. Each poet had to assign a movement to their poem. We could not include their movements here but we do have their Haikus! Enjoy!
Butterflies
By Mei and Jazzy
Butterflies are free
They fly all over the world
With joy on they’re wings
Basketball
By Ethan and Eli
The championships
Are like achievements in life
That you’re dreamed of here
Trees
By Amada and Anonymous
Trees get cut daily
Your lovely branches falling
Falling endlessly
My heart
By Sofia
My heart is the moon
I’m always forgotten, and
Forever alone
The Quiet Wind
By Axel and Anonymous
This wind is silent
No more “whoosh” nor “swish” this time
I just get nothing
Fire
By Xciel and Gianni
Anger is like fire
It’s fuel to a great danger
You must control it
