Haiku


Part 2: Poem
This week, I'd like to write about the simple things.  We're going to write about the things we're grateful for, the simple joys we notice around us.  Note those things. Then, you will write 5 haiku's about them. 
Remember, a haiku is a short, contemplative poem with a very particular set of rules. 
There are generally 3 lines.  The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables (very symmetrical).  

Hot long summer days
Family is there through it all  
Cold short winter nights 

No distracts, just us
We are our entertainment 
When the power is out

We travel the world 
We go on adventures 
Every summer; fun 

Cambridge is our home
My family will stay here forever 
Our heart is in Africa 

Here one day in life 
Gone the next day forever
Be thankful, before its late

  1. Ahmed,

    Good journal. Honest reflection. Many students wrote about appreciating family and friends... the support systems that we usually take for granted (by human nature/age).

    Good reflection.

    I also like your haikus... they are simple, yet philosophical in their nature.


    One big suggestion: You need to include at least 3 images per post. Google related words and find images that support your theme/topic/personal design.
