Haiku examples (E1A)

Remember how to make a haiku: 3 lines, with 5 syllables the first, 7 the second and 5 the last. They don´t have to rhyme. It can´t be easier! Some reference to nature is typical in these poems. Here you are some examples:

The birds are flying
Above sea and white mountains
I want to be free 

Students like rainbows
generously cross our path
dissolving in warmth

Falling to the ground,

        I watch a leaf settle down

In a bed of brown.

 Snow falling slowly
Blanketing the trees and road
Silence and beauty.

Alone, on the web,
drops of sensitivity
embrace an eyelash 

And these are some haikus my students last year (now in E2ºC) wrote:

Forests have been cut
by the anger of chain saws
to take from them wood

("Deforestation", by Laura G. and Alejandro G.)

If you are alone
happiness is always there

to give you colour 

("Alone with Happiness", by Marta Z. and Steveen T.)

Sunset finds a voice
of a strange boy with a rose
for his beauty lost

("Love" by Alicia M. and Concha L.)

You are suffering
the death takes your life away
and the silence cries

("Dust in the Vault" by Esther L. and Marina L.)
