Summer

       I am writing some different poems on Summer.

     This is a type of poem where you say one thing like the subject: horse, then something that relates to horse like barn, then something relates to barn like cat an so on. Then you end it with another word for horse like zebra's relative. Mine is on summer.

     This next poem is where you take a month and fill in it. Called "Sense of time poems."

July
July is bright yellow
The color of the sun
July feels like hot sun on your back
It sounds like laughter
It smells like lemons
July taste like watermelon
July is summer and my birthday


           The haiku (pronounced hi-coo) is a type of poem that first appeared in Japan. The poem is usually laid out in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. The best haikus use simple words, not only to describe a scene but also to give us a feeling or make us think. 

Here's one:
When I write haiku
I always seem to have one syllable left o
ver



Another:
Water tumbles down

In a gently flowing stream
Over rocks it trips
   

And one more:

Tall and skinny, with gray bold marks

Invented by mankind

To be especially used on weekdays
-Pencils

  4. Writing Haiku's is one of my favorite things to do! I like them because they are short and sweet, they are like . . . bubbles! Full of color, but they don't last long.
