We are excited to include you in our new and improved Grade 8 Day Orientation Activity. We are very excited about reading your many great haiku poems.
In order to participate you need only to write an original haiku poem. A Stamford Student will then arrange for you to type it and publish it here on this website!
Be sure to include your full name and home school with your poem.
In case you are unfamiliar with haiku, it is traditionally a Japanese form. Every haiku is 3 lines. The first line is 5 syllables, the next is 7 and the last is 5 again. Here are some examples:
Haiku softly sings
and a word picture is formed.
A feast for the mind.
-Alex Knight, elementary school unknown
Battlefield students
write crazy haiku poems
making us all laugh.
