Having fun with Haikus (we will spend several classes playing with various types of poetic form)
- Most Haikus focus on nature imagery, without necessarily worrying about a deeper human meaning. These are different, though.
- Read the poems aloud to each other and discuss: how does the author use the simple imagery to get across meaning about a human experience?
- Practice! Take one person’s longer poem, in the group, and condense it into a Haiku-like poem (because traditional Haikus usually reference nature, this is really just using the style of a Haiku). You must attempt to retain the overall meaning of the original poem, but also try to mimic the kinds of imagery a Haiku uses.

ReplyDeleteThe ocean waves flow
The sand beneath my toes is warm
Oh how nice it is
Elena, Ban, Sabrina
ReplyDeleteWe had two because it's fun
Fifty-two in all
Yet one extraneous card
Throws the balance off
A pack of cards and
All but one do dance and twirl
Gladly ignorant

ReplyDeleteWalls mean nothing to me
Still you continue to build and divide
Why can't we just cooperate?
I was in love with
ReplyDeleteyou as a whole. Never one
without the other.

Listen to your heart,
listen to what it tells you,
This is important.

ReplyDeleteWe might not sing the
loveliest songs, but silence
says more than we could.
Steel high hat smooth sound
ReplyDeleteThe pocket, the groove, that's it
Add more feel, that's music
