additional haikus

creeping out once more

filling the sky with colors

a perfect sunrise

Up the stream it goes

down the hill it flows once more

to reach the river

Haiku



streching out its arms

through the grassland

roots of a tree

high above the sky

looking down upon the land

a black feathered bird

whistling wind

mountain of clouds

upcoming storm

Reflection:

These Haikus were inspired by nature, just by looking

at our surroundings we could make something creative

out of it.

Tanka

underneath the tree

buried deep into the earth

a burrow appears

hidding from the light afraid

to take chances that may fail

Reflection:

This Tanka shows both nature and

emotion. It shows that I am afraid to take

the risk not knowing if I would succeed.

Onomatopoeia and Hyperbole

By the beach

The whoosh of the breeze

The splash of the waves

The clash of thunder and lightning

what a perfect thunderstorm

Reflection:

This is a poem for onomatopoeia.

I was able to come up with this poem by imagining

myself on the beach and hearing the sounds of nature.

Happiness



I would search across the ocean

to find that one thing

that would keep me from thinking

of all the bad things

I would run a thousand miles

to see a smiley face

that would greet me everyday

Indeed I have found happiness.

Reflection:

This is a poem for Hyperbole. The actions that are written

 in the poem are exagerated and are meant to

express my emotions inside. This poem shows 

that I would do everything to find happiness.

Participle Poem

Bloom

I am a flower

Blossoming under the sun

Swaying with the breeze of life,

Waiting in the rain

for a glimpse of sunlight,

Catching morning dew amidst

the darkness,

Seeping in nutrients to fulfill my knowledge,

Growing stronger each day

I stand still,

As I watch myself blossom.

Reflection:



This was an assignment given to us by our teacher we were to think of an object, animal or an abstract idea that would best symbolize ourselves then make a participle poem following the example she has given.

In the process of making this poem I got to reflect on who I am  and I was able to make something creative out of it.
