What Am I? Haiku


Hi 6A and 6B!

Your homework for tonight is to write a "What Am I?" Haiku.  Remember that a Haiku is a poem that consists of 17 syllables.  It is usually formated with 5 syllables on the first row, 7 syllables on the middle row, and 5 syllables on the last row.

Post your poems on the blog so we can all read them tomorrow!  You must identify your poem by using your class number.  Do not sign your name. 

I am looking foward to reading your poems!

Mrs. Murphy

  38. Hi 4a...

    A Hiaku is correct as long as it has 17 total syllables and is written in three lines. The typical set up is 5-7-5, but you don't have to do it this way. So...no you will not loose points for setting it up differently than the 5-7-5.

    Have a great night!
