Haiku poems

The LINC 6 class from MOSAIC English Language Centre learned about the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival. They celebrated what they learned by writing haiku poems.

A haiku is a Japanese poem. It has a special number of syllables in each line. The first and last lines have five syllables. The middle line has seven syllables.

The LINC 6 class learned about the syllable structure. Then, they wrote their own haiku poems.

Here are the poems they wrote:

There was a strong wind

Many elder trees fell down

But the Forest lived

The rainy season is over

Enjoy together

like the cherry blossoms

that bloom in many colors.

Floating in the air like clouds

Along comes the wind

You are so mean to people

We drink coffee together

Spring is around the corner

Harsh winter was gone.
