Haiku's by Joe and Louisa

Haiku- A Japanese Poem

3 lines, with 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables. It should not rhyme but must paint a mental picture. Grammar is not the thing, rather the ability to briefly, quickly explode an image from the writer to the reader.

Here are two haiku poems from the kids (yes, we are relentlessly homeschooling during this Great American Field Trip Adventure)

Hole in One (By Joe)

Rolling fast the sphere
falls immediately down
my soul leaps with joy

The Ocean (By Louisa)

The water jumping
reflects the sun's face, running
over the desert
