Yesterday the boys wrote their first Haiku. Kind of. It was a relaxed haiku. I told them the first and third lines should be about the same length and shorter than the middle line. It had to be about something in nature and it had to show an emotion. Here's what I got:
Micah's Haiku
Flying, stinging, biting
I collect nectar from my favorite flowers
And protect my home in the ground.

Josiah's Haiku
Friends come over.
Happy, presents, fun, love and cake
I get one year older.
(Ok, so Josiah's isn't actually about something in nature...at least not by my definition. His defense was that it "naturally happens every fall, so it's about nature." He's in 1st grade, so I let it fly.) :)
