Haiku today

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! :)

  2. Oops. Missed. Didn't mean to add the word "my"--forgive me little haiku learners!(p.s.: this is not haiku.)

  4. To learn is to do.
    Now you know not to Haiku
    Like your cousin Meg!


    Because I screwed up on "but" too!

  5. Always check your work.
    Especially before you
    Hit "Enter" like me.

  7. 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!

    Who's next?

  8. 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:)

    Never-ending daily task

  11. Propeller in sky
    Is it a fighter bomber?
    No, a ceiling fan
