Our poetry focus this week is Haiku Poetry. This is a Japanese poem composed of three non rhyming lines of five, seven, and five syllables.
The pattern is:
Five Syllables
Seven Syllables
Five Syllables
These poems are typically about nature. The main focus and concern this week is the syllables. Play around, see what works and what doesn't. Be patient! We will show more examples and go over this type in more depth in class, but heres one example for everyone to look at.
The red blossom bends
and drips its dew to the ground
like a tear it falls
