Haiku is a beautiful form of Japanese poetry, where the feelings evoked by the words are the most important thing. Traditionally containing references to nature, weather, or the elements, nowadays a modern haiku can have any subject, as long as it follows the strict rhythm of three lines, containing 5, 7, and 5 syllables for a total of 17. Showcase your creative side, let out the poet within, and Impress us all with your writing skills! To start you off, here's my favourite modern haiku :

Okay, I tried to stay true to the Haiku rule, but I’m positive I failed at some parts. I’m sorry, it’s not out of disrespect, it’s because I’m simply dreadful at this! But I had fun. Night of the Living Dead Saw it at 6, woe is me Still scared at 33 Still scared at any age George Romero was the MAN His dreams gave me frights Genius made some more New frights with new zombies yikes! What an honor to watch Now I make films too Nothing near that quality But his zombies live My prose is the worst But hey, I’m trying hard here To spread George’s word You had better pray The zombies don’t come for you And stay on the screen Reply #25.

Jen. When in doubt, count them out. If not with fingers, silently in your head, one line at a time. Like a child learning to read. It may seem naff but it works. Always have in the back of your mind the following refrain. "Syllables, syllables, syllables, not words, words, words." Five syllables here Here there are seven of them Let's do five again (Loved what you posted) Don't forget consent form for school outing next week. And you can't sit next to Chloe at the front of the bus. Remember what happened last time? You two are far too unruly and we're getting the same bus driver. He's only just recovered from the trauma. Just marked your American History essay. Very good. I think you'll ace end of year exam. Well done. (Sorry, can't help being a prat.) Reply #29. Aug 16 18, 2:12 PM |

When I was a kid Grandfather gave me a gift This is it, I thought Oh, the camera! I went everywhere with it Never left my side Made movies for school Made movies with family Report cards were great Delight in filming Holding camera steady Not easy with such bliss Not one movie, no, Two different movies out Theater spoiled me That day, oh that day Bubbly joy overcame me Thank you, grandfather Jazmee, you astound To observe so much around Despite your ailment So impressive too It puts me in blushing shame Your sweet poetry Sectant, please, I already promised Chloe I’d sit next to her! You know she breaks out if she gets upset! And I caught Jim cheating off of Sherry, I think he should get in trouble for that. Oh, also, Sara said she has cheerleading practice after school so she can’t meet up with Betty. Reply #37. Aug 17 18, 10:35 AM |

Jen, you're doing great everybody else is too having fun's the key. We all have talents Can't be great at everything That would be boring. We each have to learn Something special defines us Knowledge takes some time. Reply #39. Aug 17 18, 11:42 AM |

Those fun days at school No mobiles or Internet No Kardashians Jen, could you please tell all involved that cheerleading practice has been cancelled until whoever stole the school mascot brings it back. Alive, preferably. And this rampant cheating amongst students must stop. We're having enough problems in this area with staff members. You'll never guess who I caught Mrs Temple with in the school gymnasium. After hours. On the same mat. Mr Kalojnic, the janitor! There's a bit of gossip you can add to the school magazine. I assure you though, it's not mere gossip. Reply #40. Aug 17 18, 2:32 PM |
