Haikus in Motion

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 3rd grade poets from Ms. Zepeda’s class wrote their own Haikus with a ‘twist’. Each poet had to assign a movement to their poem. We could not include their movement here but we do have their Haikus! Enjoy!

Trees by Angelou

Trees are beautiful
I always see the trees everywhere
I love trees so much

Flowers by Kariana

I love all flowers
Big sunflowers are the best
So many flowers

The Sun by Camor

The sun gives us light
You can see it far away
Do you like the Sun?
