Lost at sea, just blue
rays on sunshine pierce my face
into my white skin.
Books back in session
our tight-knit clique of five girls
dance through pile of leaves.
Shoulders clenched in frost
His lips on mine revive- whoa!
winter wonderland.
Driving past the house
fuchsia gardens in full bloom!
Rain tears through dark eyes.
Warm air of the night
golden fireworks boom and pop-
could that be magic?
Two exchange faux smiles
eerie pumpkins grin right back
'tis sweater weather.
Owl hoots across dusk
snowflakes swoosh and suddenly
owl cries no longer.
We fall into step
as green blankets conquer white-
our hands intertwine.
Toes sink deep in sand
Horizon sets no limits
Whoosh! goes a harsh wave.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
The basic white girl anthem
Glug. Warm scents of pine.
Imprints of angels
Embalmed in the wet snow-oh!
They have come to life.
April showers bring
certain glow to the soft scene.
Wow! Drink in the drops.

The last twitter poem is so good! It nicely describes the city and the hashtag really takes it to another level. I don't understand the first twitter poem though. Is it talking about teeth and cavities? It is not so clear. I really enjoyed the speakers 6th haiku. The only clash I really saw was in the 9th haiku. Great job otherwise!

ReplyDeleteI thought out of everyone in the class, you conquered the haiku form the best. You did a great job getting that “shift” in the second line of the haiku to show change. None of your haikus were overly predictable. You used great alliteration and assonance, and juxtaposed consonant sounds and images together in an interesting way. I thought rays penetrating “into” your skin sounded off. I didn’t get what the clique of five was referring to in haiku 2. Loved haiku 3 in its simple image. Really liked haiku 5. Loved the faux smiles, eerie pumpkins and sweater weather.
