A photo of the Scooter Man, just because!
When I made the Haiku book this week, I promised the class that I would attempt to write some Haiku to put into the book. This afternoon, I did some research about Haiku and found that the rules are not as rigid as I thought. So I began writing. Here they are:
(Scooter)
Asleep on your bed
A sound awakens
Sudden mayhem
Your fragrance fills the air
Trees dressed in color
Invigorating
(Mia)
Curled up on the sofa
Nose in a book
Contentment
(Miles)
A serious expression
Brain is working over time
You are a mystery.
Tastes like late summer
Red and juicy
Tomato love
I plan to do some watercolors on the pages and then print the Haikus. It was fun and almost addicting.
I can’t believe how much Scooter looks like his dad. Just a little fuller in body and muzzel. Is he more dark charcoal color now?
You might explain haiku to Miles and ask him to give it a try. Caroline latched right onto the 5-7-5 structure and loved coming up with them. The combination of imagery and structure seemed to strike something good for her! Wonder if Miles would react the same way?
Great haiku! I wish our boys could get together – I think they’d have a blast! Why don’t you come walk with us tomorrow morning?

Great work, Gerrie; perhaps you will share the results of your Internet research with the rest of the class on Wednesday night. I am anxious to see your book. I didn’t have time to make one of my own~ 🙁
Like them all but that last one actually made my mouth water…
Scooter is so handsome
I like your Haiku. Scooter, you are a sweetie. Have a beautiful weekend, Gerrie.
