I Love Spring For Itself: A Haiku For Every Season at Moos Elementary

Poet in Residence
B Sampson

Date
January 22, 2015

The students and I had an extra long break due to the first vortex of 2015! In honor of how frozen we were that week, when we finally got back together we read a haiku for each season by the great and very funny poet, Issa. The students then wrote their own poems for each season. We embraced the winter cold but we also fantasized about hopeful spring, and lazy summer, and crisp fall. If you’ve got the winter blues, I think we’ve got the fix below. Enjoy!

Spring Poem by Janari R.

Spring so so rainy
Rain getting my Jordans wet
I like rain in spring

The rain is cooler
Flowers are blooming
Summer is coming

Leaves starting to change
The leaves are blowing from trees
Orange everywhere

Spring Poem by Alejandro G.

The birds sing their melody
The dew on the spider’s beautiful web
I love Spring for itself

Spring Poem by Leilany F.

Animals wake up
The flowers look beautiful
Birds fly every day

We play in the leaves
We collect colorful leaves
They rake up the leaves
