Here are haikus I wrote! Hope you like them!
The wind blows by me.
Is it a visit from Sam?
I may never know.
A warm summer breeze.
It ruffles my hair, tranquil.
Watch for the sunset.
A pitch-black nighttime.
At the moon, wolves will howl.
Wait for the sunrise.
Here is a large one I wrote in class:
Cherry Blossoms
The springtime is here,
The sakura* will blossom.
Collect the petals.
Petals in my sleeve,
Remind me of the new spring.
Everyone rejoice.
Sing for the season,
Dance like petals in the wind.
Everyone at peace.
So calm and tranquil,
Watch the stars shimmer brightly.
Wait for the sunrise.
*Japanese word for Cherry Blossom

In the light of dawn
When the grass is wet with dew
The foe moves about

The evil blue jay
flies high in the sky then he
flies down to catch prey

I see the green trees,
Blowing in the soft clear air,
They are all so green

Afleet Alex Ran
In the Kentucky Derby
It came in 3rd place
Yellow Labs are great
I had a lab named Misty
But shes in Heaven

Heat beating down on
Keeping me warm for the year
Until winter hits

My Haikus:
Summer is coming
Winter is over for now
Swimming not skating.

Here are the two I wrote during class:
Flowing willow tree
Overhanging the river
Cool shade and fun times
Quick bat to the ball
Soaring high against the sky
Landing in the seats
