Haikus

[Jasma]

Does anyone like to write haikus? They are poems that have a line of 5 syllables, followed by a line of 7 syllables, followed by another line of 5 syllables. I like writing them because they don't take a lot of time to write and usually have a message that's to the point.

Here are some that I've written for you this morning.

A beacon of light
who guides us through all our days
He is our salvation

Hope, Truth, Light, and Love
Giver of life and all good
He is my hero

Traveling with Him,
Ever faithful to God's word,
Down the path of life

oooooooooh ive heard of those but i didnt know what they were! the ones you did are really good, youre right about it being easier to get the message across when using those rather than normal rhyme schemes-you dont really have much choice lol!

I write all sorts of poetry. I love rhyming poetry the best probably, but I have blank verse and a whole ton of haikus- I love writing them.

One of the projects I gave my 5th graders a few years ago was a poetry notebook project where they compiled poems from others and wrote a few themselves (in class). Some of them still have their notebooks a few years later (they brought them in this year). It's a pretty fun hobby to share. I hope you write some or just enjoy what you see posted.

I like haikus. Easy to write and more beautiful to reade.

With His outstretched arms
Our transgressions pierced His hands
Now welcomes us home

The Lord is so good!
Why is He so good to me?
Because He is love!
