Haiku Poems and Shape Poems

Yesterday we worked on Haiku Poems.  Haiku's have a set pattern that has to be followed. The first line has to have 5 syllables, the second line has to have 7 syllables, and the third line again has to have 5 syllables.  Here are some of the Haiku poems that stood out!

In addition, we created concrete poems (shape poems) and illustrated them nicely. They are hanging in our hallway, and everyone did a nice job on them.  Check out this one by Finley!

We are truly enjoying our unit on poetry! Next week we are connecting with other classes to share our poems!
