Imperfect Haikus

Cheer is very hard.
It is so hard to jump up.
I cry on the inside.

Try and try again.
I fall and break my left leg.
I groan and whine.

My mom comes to help.
She gets an ice pack for me.
We go to the nurse.

Competition day,
I sit on the side to watch.
We win second place.

Went to Florida.
I was so happy to go.
We swam in the pool.

Later we went home.
My leg was healed, but still hurt.
Now I got to Cheer.

Reading is so hard.
These words are so confusing.
I don’t ask for help.

Grades begin to drop.
Parents will be so upset.
I’ll be in trouble.

I am practicing.
My grades are going back up.
Parents are now so happy.

I am so proud.
I’m now enjoying reading.
I can read new words.

Ready to read books.
I can understand reading.
Now I love reading.

Reading is so tough.
Sentences don’t make any sense.
My grades are very low.

I can’t show my mom.
Mom is going to be mad.
She will punish me.

Ask grandma for help.
Now I’m not failing reading.
My mom is so proud.

Why is school so hard?
Have to do a lot of work.
The work is so hard.

Why have any homework?
D’s on my progress report.
Need to do better.

I will try harder.
Listen to my teacher.
Stop talking in class.

I was very young.
All the attention on me.
I was so nervous.

When I was dancing.
I fell, but I played it off,
when I got off stage.

I started crying.
I knew I messed up a lot.
But we still had won.

School is going well.
At first, I was very nervous.
I kind of like school.

Though science is hard
I don’t like having a C.
must bring the grade up.

Really don’t like science.
As you can see it’s so tough.
Who created it?

I was in a game.
Another team caught the ball.
I was so angry.

I missed my first game,
because I didn’t have cleats.
I was frustrated.

My arm was broken.
I played when my arm was healed.
I made a touchdown.

Practice was a mess.
Why’d he make that stupid pass?
“Please catch the ball man.”

It wasn’t my fault.
Why would you blame me for that?
I missed a whole week.

Please cut me some slack.
Let’s just help each other out.
We can win this thing.

People like to say,
that friendships last forever.
I can’t believe that.

Some are forever.
But now during these sad days,
everyone is fake.

Someone is your friend.
then they’re telling your secrets.
Now you are alone.

They become friends with,
the same people that hate you.
It’s like a heartbreak.

Who is the fake one?
How do you know who to trust?
They all seem to turn.

You will lose and gain.
Its one of the hardest things.
One day one will stay.

The routine is hard.
One wrong move, I’m out for good.
I tried my very best.

Still can’t get the moves.
Seems like people are judging.
Then I try again.

One part was correct.
I had fifteen steps to go.
Completed them all.

The math is so tense.
I did not do my homework.
I can not focus.

I want to keep up.
I really want to do well.
Thank you, Ms. Henry.

Cooking is so hard.
The ingredients had burned.
I don’t want any help.

People got very mad.
I asked for some helping hands.
I made some good food.
