Haiku

Haiku





The haiku is a three-line poem with a specific syllable count (5,7,5) in each line. Traditionally, these poems were meant to express a simple truth, and usually incorporated nature. You may write your haikus on any topic you like.
 
You must write ten of these by the end of the period.

  1. 1. Hatred fills the world
    A word or two everywhere
    Go on and leave me
    2. People hearts broken
    A heart can handle so much
    Just cry your heart out
    3. In those snowy days
    I can warmth you gave me
    You have given me
    4. Tears fall from the eye
    People can only wipe them
    It’s time to be tough
    5. Just hold on pain ends
    It breaks or makes a person
    Just do your best please
    6. Losing pushes you
    Makes a person do their best
    Just keep on trying
    7. You make my day bright
    Your smile makes me smile
    Can you keep it up?
    8. Memories can fade
    Make memories a big dream
    It’s reality
    9. The very last bye
    This was not enough for me
    Still, I think of you
    10. Darkness creeps behind
    Watch out for it won’t take you
    Light can only help

      I feel the warmth you gave me
      You've been there for me

  2. 1. Sun sets on the beach
    The sand is soft on my feet
    The breeze sends me chills

    2. The game moves on hard
    The pieces move on the board
    Family together

    3. Sweat drips to the ground
    Nothing but sand for miles
    the sun beats down hard

    4. My heart beats faster
    the enemy approaches
    Stare at his dark eyes

    5. The movie was packed
    the action, love, comedy
    Best movie on Earth

    6. Determination
    The key to success in life
    Battle in one’s heart

    7. Great motivation
    protecting friends from danger
    anything for them

    8. Sparkles in your eye
    The smile on your clean face
    your life is special

    9. The dreaded work space
    everyone hates the cold space
    so why do I not

    10. The child smiles
    she looks up at the giant
    her father smiles

  3. 1. One day I am sad
    Like seasons my mood changes
    The next day I’m glad

    2. They keep growing fast
    The puppies won’t stop growing
    Then they have to go

    3. My hair needs to grow
    It needs to look beautiful
    Hair, won’t you please grow?

    4. I love the autumn
    I love the leaves that off trees fall
    I love this season

    5. Uggs, gloves, scarfs and boots
    Rosy cheeks and a pink nose
    Hot chocolate and warm soup

    6. I am very short
    I want to be taller though
    Never tall enough

    7. Donate blood today
    And you’ll save lives tomorrow
    You’ll be my hero

    8. I am so cold today
    A sweater will not save me
    I need a heater

    9. Pepperoni face
    Blemishes take over it
    My face has acne

    10. I am so in love
    My heart always beats so fast
    And butterflies fly

    1. Numbers five and ten are my favorite. You really did a good job of appealing to the senses in number five. I could feel the crispness of the air.

  4. With age comes freedom
    The freedom to develop
    And become your own

    To be man’s best friend
    Is a huge obligation
    Respect your canine

    It’s hard to believe
    That it’s really senior year
    It’s really the end

    To find what you want
    Something you’ve been searching for
    It is true magic

    The grass, green and moist
    And the air that’s warm and dry
    In their grasp I belong

    Rebellion is key
    It’s a part of who we are
    Everyone does it


    Life is so special
    But it’s taken for granted
    Life is meant to live

    The smell of your hair
    And your arms around my waist
    It’s where I belong

    Life is a chess game
    We make our moves cautiously
    And hope they were right

    Chuck’s not here today
    Sorry this haiku is bad
    The others were good

  5. Furious Battles
    Tormenting the land each day
    Fueling the worlds law

    Shining light in day
    Growing many fruits of peace
    Creating Serenity

    Tranquility speaks
    With everlasting Authority
    Making a Beauty

    War ravages earth
    Scorched in a full battle array
    Deciding Society

    Juicy fruits attract all
    Splendid flavors emitting love
    Without a flaw in sight

    Developing angry tunes
    To play at the battles end
    And disperse the evil


    Born in today’s society
    Shameful music and food
    Without reputation

    Silly dog made with fun
    Scampering around the home
    With respect to all

    Abby typing hard
    To write her poem with ease
    To be the next idol

    Final poem, to write
    To conclude my day in awe
    To be a better man

  6. The days feel so long
    Nights are even longer now
    I’m at a great lost

    I’m still in great shock
    Hopelessness is in full effect
    Trying not to believe it

    Wanting to go back
    Sadly I can’t reverse time
    Only can I go forward

    Things are all scrambled
    Life’s directing me to go up
    But I only see down

    Looking at all negatives
    Life’s about looking at the positives
    However I see none

    I’m lost in the dark
    I’m wanting to find the light
    I get knocked down

    They try to help me
    But their help doesn’t cut it
    I need a miracle

    There is no such thing
    Wishing on miracles is a waste
    They just won’t come true

    I need to get out
    I’m in search of an escape
    Why can’t I find one?

    I’m craving the light
    I try to keep my head up
    It’s just so very hard.

      These poems really evoke a sense of desperation. Nicely done.

  7. Hard hitting players
    The intensity builds up
    As the game winds down

    Cranking the deep ball
    Baseball was my first true love
    I feel so at home

    Fast break down the floor
    As the clock nears the buzzer
    I capture the win

    Sitting by the fire
    Warming up with hot chocolate
    On cold winter nights

    Flying down the road
    The wind in my face so cold
    Cherishing the thrill

    Blocking every shot
    Nobody scores in my paint
    I am Mutombo

    Running you over
    Telling you to try harder
    Is not very nice

    Blowing you away
    I need to be dominant
    Strike fear in their eyes

    I just love to win
    To be the best you must win
    That is what drives me

    Why would you not fight?
    How will you be remembered?
    Will you leave your mark?

  8. In the dark we sit,
    We stare but we cannot see.
    We’re vulnerable.

    Two broken pieces,
    Trying to come together.
    Painfully they fit.

    It’s time for goodbye.
    Or maybe see you later.
    Is it the right time?

    Happily dreaming,
    And wishing to be living,
    In old memories.

    A baby nephew,
    And another on the way
    Life’s best miracle.

    She’s fluffy and curled
    A bundle of happiness,
    My puppy, Lila.

  9. Procrastinating
    Unwillingly wasting time
    A very bad choice.

    Clueless-ly waiting
    For a blind future to come.
    I wish to be found.

    Nothing is promised.
    Except for the memories
    Keep lots of pictures.

    So much love for you,
    It’s irreplaceable love.
    Love for you, my mom.

  10. 1.) A smoky delight.
    Hot dogs roasting on the grill
    Arrest my senses.
    2.) Red and reflective,
    Glass balls dangle on the tree
    And warm all our hearts.
    3.) The echoing blasts
    Ringing through my very brain
    Keep me calm and sane.
    4.) The surface can’t break,
    For what’s beneath it is strong,
    And its contents, too.
    5.) Plump, rounded veggies
    Remind us of warmer days.
    The cycle drags on.
    6.) Crackling of shrubs
    Forewarn the bear’s arrival.
    Now the forest knows.
    7.) With nowhere to go,
    More limitations arise,
    And peace is hidden.
    8.) Zipping through the sky,
    The plane dives up, down, around.
    Air forever touched.
    9.) The thunder, which roars,
    Reverberates in my soul.
    A changed horizon.
    10.) The bees unify.
    Harmonizing their buzzes,
    Morphing into one.

  11. What we want in life
    Is simple to find, but we
    Must work to get it

    What is love; when we
    Care enough to let them be
    Or too much not to?

    Voices enter through
    Our ears and to our minds, so
    We can be enriched

    The gales of autumn
    Can move the leaves and water
    But can they move us?

    If time were human
    And it could converse with us
    What would it tell us?

    What wonder it is
    When we awake to a day
    That knows our struggles!


    When words flow like light
    Into a dark room, they take
    Form in salvation

    Hatred and love are
    Joined by passion, and they
    Consummate within

    Color fills our eyes;
    It adds depth to the world, so
    What colors have you?

    Our feet lead, eyes see
    Hands feel, tongues taste, but how why can’t
    They know what we know?

  12. Summer is over
    I like the weather in fall
    The fall is the best

    Trey songz is perfect
    I’m going to marry him
    I love him so much

    Christmas is coming
    A time of joy, peace and love
    The snow is pretty

    I don’t like writing
    I’d rather be in art class
    I like to draw things

    I don’t like my house
    My family makes me mad
    I want to move out

    The alarm clock rang
    The sound annoying and loud,
    But it woke me up.

    Puppies are so cute
    Warm, sweet and adorable
    They make me happy

    Happy Halloween!
    Everyone is in costumes
    People eat candy

    The bees are outside
    Beautiful flowers are back
    The bees like flowers

    School goes by so slow
    I don’t like being at school
    I am so tired.

  13. Extra:

    It’s so dark and I think that I only can see one person. Someone puts their hand over my mouth and grab me from the back. I don’t know what’s going on but I struggle. As much as I can to try and get free, with no avail. It’s like that time a long time ago.


    “NOOO! I don’t want to go!” I shouted. I was young and didn’t want to leave my family.
    “Come one you little brat.” The man’s grip tightened and I screamed out in pain. I struggled. I struggled so much but I wasn’t able to get out of his grasp. When our city was bombed all families were put back together. So was mine, but since I was the oldest one that was one of the last people to leave the village, I was going to be questioned on what I saw. I didn’t want to go because I didn’t know. I was terrified about what was going to happen. I was being ripped from my family for three weeks to go to a camp and get questioned. I had just gone through the experience of my home being destroyed right in front of me and now they wanted me to answer questions. I was only eight and my heart was just shattered by that experience. I struggled so hard but never got out. My family was gone and I was alone. No one knows what I went through in those three weeks, and no one should ever know.


    “mmmmmhmmmm!” My screams are muffled and my tears strong. I struggle until the person holding my throws me on the ground. I get the wind knocked out of me and I feel a foot on my stomach.
    “Listen girl. If you want to stay alive you better not tell anyone that we’re out here. If you do…you’ll be dead meat.” I raspy voice growls in my face and take his foot off of me. Fear over runs my curiosity and I run back into the girl’s side of the Center. I run to the bathroom and look at me face in the mirror. It stings like crazy when put a cold towel on the place I was hit from the floor. I walk slowly into the dorm room and back to my bed, making sure that no one knew I was up. I slip under my covers and fall back asleep. I dream of horrors and terror of what the people were doing out in the main room.

  14. Ryan P. Tunison

    The stroke of a pen
    To the crisp edge of parchment
    A writer’s thoughts fly

    Binding lies ajar
    Eyes hover across each page
    Now wake your genius

    Dancing in twilight
    Darkness brings truth as light blinds
    Now in death comes love

    Now the stain of roses
    Will shine red against your skin
    Shame covers your arms

    Ignominy shields love
    To stall is to fall craven
    Truth remains unspoken

    Lost in Savannah
    Knowledge doubts courage in love
    Youth does not factor

    A new attraction
    As a youth you are fickle
    Now swallow your shame

    Asleep in the grass
    With a lover too shameful
    Inescapable

    The stage creaks too loud
    Piercing the deep quietus
    Of nonexistence

    Carry Her far away
    Till the sirens cease tonight
    And forevermore

    2) hot sand on the beach
    warm salt water from the ocean
    the beach is so nice

    3)crunch of the leaves
    beautiful colors around
    fall is in the air

    4)cold snow flakes fall down
    pure white is everywhere
    ice cicelies hang down

    5)the grass was fresh cut
    in the field by the old barn
    the sun was setting

  16. I can hear the birds
    The grass grows beneath my feet
    This is where I grow.

    The ocean waves crash
    The moon shining over us
    I can see the stars

    This is my haiku
    It is very obvious
    This is the ending

    Fairies are not real
    They are often found in books
    I wish they were real

    I have many pets
    I have a dog, cat and more
    This haiku was bad

    I am tangled up
    Haikus are not my strong suit
    But I am trying

    Going home is great
    But not when it’s filled with hate
    Books are my escape

    I am almost done
    Finishing with your torment
    You can almost breathe

    The wind does howl
    Much like a mourning mother
    Over a small grave

    This wasn’t too bad
    Sorry if it was too sad
    Now I can be glad

    Cold air slowly approaching
    Season is changing

    The music blasting
    Standing in a cheering crowd
    Singing to the song

    Sleepless stressful nights
    To tired to remember
    Eyes slowly closing

    Rainbow colored roses
    Beautiful and colorful
    Pink, green, blue, and red

    Fake smiles and laughs
    Fake love and happiness
    Fake tears and cries

    Speed increasing fast
    Adrenaline pumping
    Cars racing faster

    Drawings and paintings
    A museum full of new art
    Sculptures and models

    Five six seven then eight
    Plie, releve, releve, repeat
    Plie then saute

  21. Ships sailed the sea shore
    Pirates rode aboard these ships
    Looking for the land

    In ominous light
    Stood a young boy clothed in black
    Waiting for his time

    Her baby blue eyes
    Hid the secrets of past lives
    That no one knew of

    In the light she stood,
    in dark stood a shattered soul
    Who are you to judge?

    Where is my pizza?
    I think it's in my stomach
    I'm still hungry, merp

    Her eyes but marbles
    Sparkled with each glimpse of sun
    She was a beauty

    Shadows In the night
    Stood for monsters of all kinds
    To the young children

    The crisp winter air
    Bit at her skin with such force
    She was shivering

    The crib felt empty
    A baby lies alone, scared
    She begins to cry

    I give up mrs. Ell
    I can't think of another
    At least I finished.

    Take a trip into your mind
    Imagine for once

    3)Hey time to doodle
    Paint a picture draw a line
    Try to make some art

    4)Where is the fine line?
    When will humanity learn
    Pay attention guys

    5)High school years the fun
    The drama and the messes
    Thank god for college

    6)Look up a new word
    Don’t you want to learn something
    Lengthen your knowledge

    7)Ignore the haters
    Dont let the bs sink in
    Just love yourself first

    8)Story of the wall
    An ink to tell every tale
    They all start at skin

    9)Tell me a secret
    I promise to hide it well
    I will try for now

    10)Deceit and torment
    Lies mixed in with illusions
    Darkness and sadness

  24. The wind blows roughly,
    The trees drop tons of acorns,
    The ground is attacked.

    The earthquake begins,
    The ground shakes intesively,
    The buildings rumble.

    Her heart beats loudly,
    The hot sweat runs down her face,
    She is running fast.

    The sun shines brightly,
    There’s hot sand between my toes,
    The blue wave crashes.

    Red, pink, yellow, brown,
    Crunch, the leaves under your feet
    The leaves surround you.

    The dog limps over,
    The dog has a broken back,
    Try to comfort him.

    White, black, tan, and brown,
    The bunnies are very cute,
    They eat their carrots.

    I looked up to see
    The bird soar across the sky,
    It was beautiful.

    The violent river,
    Was a perfect funnel for
    the rushing water.

    A white blanket of
    Snow covered the flat ground and
    Made the world look cold.

  25. Leaves changing colors
    Cold, crispy, calm wind everywhere
    Autumn has arrived

    Sweet, soothing, warm, tasty
    Better than hot chocolate
    Apple cider, yum!

    Cool, calm, relaxing
    Raindrops fall all around me
    Walking in the rain

    Life is beautiful
    Often taken for granted
    Learn to enjoy it

    In a crowded room
    Yet feeling lonely, upset
    But no one takes notice

    Familiar faces
    Unfamiliar behaviors,
    All so deceiving

    A woman’s kind heart
    Full of many deep secrets
    Forever keep them

    Anger and sadness
    Built up inside, no escape
    How to move forward?

    Patiently waiting
    But when will the change arrive?
    Slowly losing hope

    Started off as happy
    Slowly progressed to sadness
    Why must that be so?

  26. 1. The month December
    It is very cold and white
    But enjoy the snow
    2. The forest is quiet
    Mother Nature’s work of art
    Green with animals
    3. Whoosh the waves crash on
    The moon pulls the waves to us
    Makes it fun for us
    4. School were teachers are
    The place of education
    But prison to us
    5. Please don’t wake me up
    Only have eight short hours
    Dreaming my heaven
    6. Love my family
    The closest people to me
    Always go my back
    7. The warmth you feel
    The heart filled with enjoyment
    Hate it when it’s done
    8. My game console, Xbox
    I can play that for hours
    Not able to though
    9. The best artist Drake
    I love listening to him
    Has many mottos
    10. My favorite mottos
    No new friends’ motto
    You only live once

  27. The sun starts to set
    Darkness flooding over me
    It’s a cold embrace

    Fire spreads everywhere
    Destruction is unending
    Rubble in its wake

    The seed of life sits
    Defenseless and unguarded
    It must be nurtured

    A pillar of fire
    The ultimate of cleansings
    To begin anew

    A shattered mirror
    The mirror or the viewer
    Which one is broken?

    A fork in the road
    One could lead to great riches
    But will it end there

    The light from a star
    The most beautiful of sights
    Could have met its end

    Oppression with fear
    Never ending loyalty
    But none with respect

    The ties that may bind
    Can easily be broken
    With a simple word

    The past can’t be changed
    So why do we dwell on it?
    Mistakes and regret
