A Haiku is a poem with three lines, the first line has five syllables, the second has seven syllables and the third has five syllables. Syllables are a bit complicated but the part you need to know for haiku's is that they are different parts of a word and you can count them by: putting your hand under your chin and counting how many times jaw/mouth/tongue move, counting the syllables on your fingers, or clapping your hands for each syllable. Haiku's do not need to rhyme but mine does a little bit. Here is my Haiku about Summer.
Kia ora Amelia. Phil from the poetry slam team here. Thanks for entering the poetry slam. Good job for filling out the form, next time link your blog post rather than your poem then people can find your poem here and leave you some lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteOk thanks Phil :)
ReplyDeleteKia ora anō Amelia,
ReplyDeleteWell done with this weeks poetry activity! This is an awesome summer themed poem.
Did you have a feast on Christmas? I hope you do get to go to the beach at some point during summer!
Great jobs explaining syllables, that was very clear and easy to understand - well done!
I counted 5 syllables in your first line, 6 in the second and 6 in the last. Perhaps you can double check and maybe play around with the words to create a 5-7-5 haiku. It is still an excellent poem regardless!
I’m excited to see your next blog post and awesome mahi.
Ngā mihi,
Lauren
Hi Amelia,
ReplyDeleteWell done for giving this challenge a go. These theme is really good and relevant however I have just counted the syllables and I think you need to double check how many syllable are in line 2 and 3. It will be great to see this once you have review this.
Keep up the hard work.
Regards,
Mrs B
