My students started the second annual poetry challenge today. In support of our 100 Days of Writing and National Poetry Month, a different poetry assignment is revealed to students every morning. The first one is called Hello Haiku! and after a quick look at the form and some examples, (and a review of syllables), each student must write and share three haikus.
When I looked back at the sample haiku I had composed last year at this time, I realized that this persistent of winter of ours demanded a little revision.
2013:
Ask the wind that blows
the pink cherry blossoms when
they will fall to earth.
2014:
Ask the bare branches
that blow in the April wind
when they will blossom.
