Blazing Desert
by Kimball T.
Hot is the sun, bright.
Scorching is this desert heat--
Bones lay all around.

Autumn

Brown squirrel scurries,
Nuts and berries in his mouth--
Prepares for the snow.
Winter's Eve
by Michal T.
Bitter wind blowing.
Darkness falling, chills the bones.
Trees bend, shivering.

Now it's your turn! It doesn't have to take a long time to write haiku. We'd love to hear yours.

Excellent! Your boys are following right in your brilliant footsteps. Deseret News just had a PIE-ku contest for Thanksgiving. It was fun to put on my thinking cap and cast in my lot.
Of course Erin/Prudy doesn't mention that her haiku/Pie-ku took the front page on the Deseret Newspaper!....I can't remember it, but it was funny.
I love your boys' haikus and think we will try to fit this in this week. What a fun lesson--good idea.
Thanks for the idea!

how like our prudy to be humble. she is the winner of all sorts of competitions! i'm not even a little surprised that she was published in the deseret news. remember all the spidey poetry we did in the harold b lee library???? i wish we'd kept a record of those.
Pregnancy
Morning sickness - yuck!
Bursting 'til your ribs will crack.
Finally, baby.
Laboring for hours
Days when nothing seems to fit
Motherhood is great.

yay! a couple of great haikus about motherhood, no less!
prudy, would you share with us your winning PIE-ku????
Michal,
Heidi published it on the renouf family blog. Head over and take a look for your daily laugh and an explanation for my reticence.
I wish we had our spidey poetry too. All our hard and inspired work, and where did it end up? Although, since the theme was always boys, I suspect we wouldn't want it back as badly as we think we do.
Still, if we could just find the ones about Little Josh, I think I'd be satisfied. I miss you, my cuckoo haiku friend.
Dark sky falling snow
winter day cold breath in air
Warm by the bright fire
Love,
Papa
Sun, then rain, then sun
Florida is like this now
Christmas Peace is here
