After math, science, history, reading and chores today, we went to my current favorite blog for a writing assignment we all could enjoy. Today: turn around with your eyes closed. Open your eyes. Write haiku about the first thing you see.
Here's mine:
Bookshelf, tall and full.
Such great potential awaits.
Need more time to read.
Here's E's:
My little sister
Looking at me from the door.
And smiling. So nice.
Here's V's:
Street, black, wet from rain.
Houses on the other side.
No cars are there now.
I did mine in the allotted 60 seconds. This was the girls' first try, so it took a little longer for them, but not bad. Post YOUR Haikus here in the comments box! :)
Reading blogs sucks my time.
ReplyDeleteBut I love checking in with you.
So I'm over it.
:)
Oops. Missed. Didn't mean to add the word "my"--forgive me little haiku learners!(p.s.: this is not haiku.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Megan! You're first! (We forgive "my.")
ReplyDeleteWho's next?
To learn is to do.
ReplyDeleteNow you know not to Haiku
Like your cousin Meg!
Because I screwed up on "but" too!
Always check your work.
ReplyDeleteEspecially before you
Hit "Enter" like me.

(I'm on a roll)
Riley, loyal friend.
ReplyDeleteComical and so much fun,
Always wants a treat.:)
Thanks, Sue! If you see Riley when you turn around, well, I guess that mean's you're NOT in Japan with the president. Sounds like a great gig for him!
ReplyDeleteWho's next?
I figure that Jim should definitely be in the mindset for haiku when he returns from JAPAN tomorrow:) BTW, my haiku took me longer than 60 seconds to compose:)
ReplyDeletePaper full of names
ReplyDeleteNever-ending daily task
One by one, I call
Blue and yellow bird
ReplyDeleteYou scream and throw food around
I will play with you
P.s. Love your blog
Propeller in sky
ReplyDeleteIs it a fighter bomber?
No, a ceiling fan
