Today I taught about Issa, the great haiku poet to K's, 1's and 2's. Issa wrote over 20,000 haiku in his life. One night, at a party, he wrote over 100 haiku. I would love to have a haiku party some time. I'm
convinced haiku are the best texts in
history because I've been writing them with little kids of all ages this whole week, and there's so much sweetness that comes out in them. I wrote one about #1 son today that the firsties really clapped for. And they liked the tiger haiku and the lady bug
haiku too. I clapped for them too. They wrote some classics. Here's one I just came up with tonight. Leave your own in comments if you want. I'm declaring this: haiku weekend
Fight, Bravo Housewives
On your tv reunion
Why do I like you?
Comments
Then two musicians show up
Interrupting jazz
of a great Haiku for you
I only have this
Eating some crispix
Bananas in there as Well
When will I get dressed?
Push thru my current torpor
Check out the tulips
Farmer's Market, Library
Pizza for dinner?

slog report haiku:
No tulips, long gone
rises and azaleas
three friendly deer
Seems like good napping weather
Sam does not agree
just back from spring mill
pioneer villages creep
me out just a teeny
salmon fishing in yemen
go ahead see it
Than sit and fret about school
You made the right choice
New York Times puzzle
wrestled down within an hour
Moving into gear soon
Crazy talk anxiety
way too much to do
Can't wait for my game to start
I hope we win big
my best friend titus is here
we will play xbox
Honking geese and wildflowers
Thinking quiet thoughts.

An animated movie
See it if you want
Horror! Horror! Mouth agape!
Two's enough for me.
I saw this news piece
couldn't help but think of you
have fun and haiku
