Haiku – Julien

Old dog, O wise one

How terrible you look, ouch

Farewell my good friend

Added by Max to form Tanka

One little drop on the dog

Rehydrates its poor statement

 

Limerick – Julien

There once was a couple of rats

Who spoke to a bunch of bats

When one heard shrieking

Of a human screeching

"Go get me the baseball bats!"

 

Limerick - Ryan
There once was a dumb, yet pretty dove
And he wondered what was up above
He flew into outer space
Then he thought that he could pace
He exploded with passionate love

 

Haiku#2 - Ryan
A flower grows tall
Waiting for winter to come
Alas it will fall

Added by Ayla to form Tanka
And wilt from the dark coldness
Its petals will rest on snow

Ducks leave for away
Somewhere they might not be seen
But they will come back

Deer pass through shadow,
in a forest of darkness
then they come to light

coming out hiding nothing
saying truthfulness is great

The ocean is still,
but a wave comes rolling in,
then it hits a cliff

Haiku#3 - Ayla
Bunches of bright stars,
shine together in the night,
never do they part

Limerick - Ayla
There once was a magnificent horse
who ran a thousand mile-long course,
on its way it fell asleep
as it slept it smelt some treat,
woke to see pie, and ran to it with force!
 

Haiku#1 - Camille 
Feeling the wind on,
By always moving one foot,
It's so great to don't.
 

Tanka#1 - Camille 
Sometimes you just fall,
Because of other people
Or because of you
But like this you learn 
So stand up and continue.

Tanka#2 - Camille 
It's bad for your teeth
And also bad for your health
But when you eat it, 
You are so happy, dancing
More when you are a child.

Limerick#1 – Camille
A mouse is at a party,
With lots of friends and family,
But when the cat comes, 
Everybody runs.
So when the cat leaves, let's party

 

Haiku- Lucas
One little lice lice
Sends toxins to others
Poof! His house is gone

There once was a dreadful dragon
Living inside a huge wagon
A warrior comes in
And asks for the bin
The dragon, instead, sprays with baygon

O sad old friend
Why did you have to die
I will miss you so

Time will pass I won't forget
You will always be in my heart

Who thought that he could fly
When people told him "no"

Jumped off a cliff and died

When angry set fire to a cart

There once was a girl who wanted to fly

Jumping from airplanes were things she would try

One day she said to herself

“I will fly even if I cry”

She jumped from that airplane; this time goodby.

 

Haiku #1 - Edwin       

What a sad night-day
Is my grandpa's funeral
We started to cry.

Two guys play soccer
Each promised if he died
He would remember
To send a messages on what
 Is happening in heaven.

There once was a dog with a big smile
That was thinking about a crocodile
 So he decided to draw him
But the dog couldn't  draw grim
He got so mad that he never smile
