Serviceton South State School Grade 6H Haiku

Today, at Serviceton South State School I find myself teaching grade 6H, and again spreading the good word of haiku around state schools. These students are awesome, some of their haiku just as good, if not, even better than you would see in world class haiku journals. Here we go the usual rules, examples, and listening activities were implemented, and presto some amazing, AMAZING haiku have been created. I love these kids, so talented.

Here we go, the TOP TEN HAIKU (for song 1, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AMnOFmwMSs)

flowing waterfall
shimmers moonlight
and colours mystify eyes

moonlight
being shone
on all of the villages

(by Mitchell)

deep blue waves
wash away the remnants
of my sorrow

a werewolf's eyes glowing
through the moonlight

hot sunset
shines through
swaying palm trees

hush rhythms
on the sand

chirping love
in its nest

from wind
giving birds a ride

growing
side by side

start to wake

in darkness

my face

the sand

Amazing work 6H of Serviceton South State School!!! Some truly world-class, inspiration haiku you have amongst you all. I highly encourage you to keep writing, and walking in the path of light and nature, as opposed to the path of dark man-made distractions. My best wishes, Mr. Pham.
