Haiku for you.

[Jo McDonald]

Aged face with happy eyes,
Remembers  many,  long ago times.
Love, smiles, family , home.

[Teresa]

Life moves in circles
If the old ones do not die
Then the young can't live

[Wilma]

So profound, Ms. T.

[Jo McDonald]

   AND WHEN THE BUZZARDS  CIRCLE ABOVE --- DOES THAT MEAN, IF THE OLD ONES DON'T MOVE - THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD?

    Darn.......my warped sense of humor kicked in again, before I could turn off this "confuser"
     ohhhhhh wellllllll   ~~~~~~~``sorry!!!

Friday night football
touchdowns, field goals, extra points
Small town excitement!

Supporting the school
community spirit thrives
Don't let our school down!

[Teresa]

That was really good!
Do you find ..as I do.. .that you reread these poems and count on your  fingers the syllables?
5...7...5...
I am doing it every time..

When I taught 4th grade, the kids loved to do Haiku  because it was such a free form of poetry and  they didn't have to worry about rhyming words, punctuation, capitalization, or anything except for syllables and a theme.  That 5-7-5 pattern became very automatic with them,  and there would be a lot of silent finger counting going on.  Every student was able to be a success at Haiku writing.

Love cannot know that
My heart breaks anew each time
Ugliness shouts out.

[Teresa]

Oh Ta Ta.....
That was beautiful....

[Wilma]

Blue sky, golden days
Leaves scrunching under my feet
Welcome back, Autumn.
