The words are already on the page, but as the POET, it's your job to bring new meaning using the same words.
Step 1: Scan the page for anchor words (a word that stays out and is full of meaning.
Step 2: Read the page and connect words to the anchor word. Try to only circle three words in a row.
Step 3: List all of the circled words on a separate piece of paper. List the words in the order that they
appear on the page of text from top to bottom, left to right.
Step 4: Select words, without changing their order on the list, and piece them together to create the
lines of a poem. If these words don't work, go back to your original to find another word.
Step 5: Return to the page of text and circle only the words you selected for the final poem.
Remember to also erase the circles around any words you will not be using.
Step 6: Add an picture or design to the page of text that connects to your poem. Don't cover your circle
words.
Consider when writing your poems.
Provide organization and structure.
Can vary in lines; couplets, tercet, and
quatrain.
Brothers

A gentle kiss upon the cheek,
Their love growing stronger with each week.
Watching them make each other laugh,
Watching them happily sharing a bath.
The two of them lying together on the floor,
The smile on their faces is a sight to adore.
When new siblings bond, it brings great pleasure.
And as they grow up, it is something to treasure.

A Minute
By: Patricia A. Gordon
Take a minute and you will see
Just how powerful
Listening can be.
Take a minute to offer a smile and a touch.
Your sincerity
Means so much.
Take a minute and simply be kind.
A friend for life
May be what you find.
Everyone, young or old,
Needs someone to listen
As their stories are told.
The difference is yours to make.
A minute from your busy day
Is all it would take.
Take a minute and lend an ear.
Listen intently
To what you hear.

The Butterfly

With a symphony of colors
Spread on her wings,
She strolls in the garden
With a light footprint.
She smile to the flowers,
She flew by the pond,
And freshen her breath
By kissing the rose.

Why do we have homework after school?
This is so uncool.
I so want to cry
I want to deny
All of this homework after school.

If ice cream could be grown on the tree top,
Tiny tummies would be liking it lots.
Any fruit flavour
For all to savour.
Do stop by at the ice cream tree shop.
If only the trees could grow lollipops
With a sharp tangy taste of lemon drops.
Lolly licky-lick
With a zingy twist.
Come along with a skip and a hop.
If chocolate heaven grew on tree leaf,
Bountiful, tempting, delicious to eat,
A smooth, silky, treat
In a chocy feast.
If only they weren't so out of reach.
If bubblegum grew upon trees that blew
Bubbles in the air, to catch and to chew.
Be nimble, be quick;
Remember the trick.
Don't swallow, because gum sticks like glue.

On the 15th of May, in the Jungle of Nool,
In the heat of the day, in the cool of the pool, He was splashing… enjoying the jungle’s great joys… When Horton the elephant heard a small noise.

And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.

Sonnet 18 by: William Shakespeare
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Please include:
Fun Fact: Haiku's originated from 17-century Japan.
Traditional Haiku's consistent of:
- 5 syllable - 7 syllable - 5 syllable
- meeting of two images
- a seasonal reference
A total of 17 syllables is divided up into three lines:
Beautiful forests (5)
Ms. Huang loves the great outdoors (7)
Eat, sleep, be outside (5)
Describing two different images that meet in the picture.
Ie. Autumn a poem by Paul Holmes
Ripe golden harvests (5)
Burning sun in azure skies (7)
Labours rewarded (5)
The word skies acts as a cutting
word and puts the two pictures
together. The last line ties in
with emotion as we
imagine a hardworking
farmer finally being
rewarded.

What is a Syllable?
Seasonal such as frosty windows, falling leaves, spring
flowers, etc...
However Haiku's can be written about anything.
Even about pizza pops.
Possibly a seasonal pizza pop flavour you enjoy.
