LI: to create a summer Haiku.
This week for my tenth activity for the summer learning journey program I created a summer haiku. I based my summer Haiku off of eggs because during the summer I would always eat eggs for breakfast. So in the spirit of food and poems I created a Haiku about eggs and how good they are. A haiku is a Japanese styled poem using 5 syllables for the first and last lines, and 7 syllables for the 2nd line.
Greetings Lukah,
ReplyDeleteI saw your blog post while scrolling through your blog and it is amazing! The poem is so good! You were very creative by choosing a topic related to food. I have also completed this task and the thing I like the most is that we can convey what we want to say by using key words and not actual sentences. What did you enjoy doing in this task? I also like how you have explained what "haiku" is, as it would be very helpful for the reader to know more about the topic. Do you like a specific haiku? If yes, can you tell which one and who is the poet of that Haiku?
Keep up the great work!

Hi Sakshi,
DeleteI agree, I think the best part is to say what's on our mind using key words through a poem. To answer your first question, I mostly enjoyed everything but the part I really enjoyed was creating the Haiku poem itself. To answer your second question, I have heard of a Haiku called "A World of Dew" and the poet who created this Haiku was Kobayashi Issa. From my perspective from it, it is about struggle's. What is your opinion on Haiku poems? Why?
Hi Lukah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for replying to my comment and answering my question. I searched the Haiku you were talking about, it is really powerful and amazing at the same time. I think Haiku poems are a very creative way of putting your words in a poem and telling your message by creating a picture in the readers mind. I also think that Haiku has a very rich traditional background which is still being practised in Japan by teaching the students in school. I also find Haiku quite interesting and I would really love to write more such poems. Can you tell some interesting facts about Haiku poems?
I am looking forward for your reply!

Kia ora Lukah,
ReplyDeleteFiona here from the SLJ. Ka pai - you have created an awesome haiku poem all about delicious eggs! The image you have used for your background really brings your poem to life, well done.
I really enjoy eating eggs for breakfast in the summer too, especially scrambled eggs. I like the line you wrote about there being 'so many options' for how we cook eggs - this is so true! Do you have a favourite way to cook your eggs?
Keep up the fantastic summer learning!
Fiona (SLJ).
