Summer beckons me
warm breezes, cold water
toes in the Atlantic sea
We wrote haiku poems in class today, and I have to share out a few from the nearly 100 that blaze a colorful patchwork of sticky notes across my bulletin board.
The swishing b-ball
The squeaking of people’s shoes
The cold, hard defense
-Marty
The trees danced softly
together in the crisp breeze
laughing happily
A fish ate my shoe
then he swam off feeling blue
now I am shoeless
Skateboards, pennyboards
flip tricks and pure speed cruising
skulls and red and blue
-Sydney
Waves dance across the
blue floor like ballerinas
in the Nutcracker.
-Bhavya
Stretch into the splits
air whirling past as I turn
curtsy gracefully
-Cecilia
Haikus are trouble
You must count on your fingers
Now my fingers hurt
-Rohit
The willow tree sways
with deep grace and sadness
the makes me love life.
-Nia
Clouds form in odd shapes
Cats, dogs, hamsters, a bright face
What is up above?
-Marissa
Those furry felines
Twirling tumbling, and playing
They never stop meowing.
-Sean
The crack of the bat
The smell of grass, sweat, and dirt
The cheers from the crowd.
-Tyler
Sand scatters the beach
Waves crash on the sandy shore
Blue water shimmers
-Jack
