oh wow...some really cool ones in here...
i wonder how old your students are?
i run the poetry club at high school and want to do a bit more teaching this year that just reading each others...when they have it....
Thanks Brian! I'm sure the kids would be delighted to hear that! These haiku were taught to students grade 4-7. I'm currently doing Supply Teaching, which allows me the pleasure to teach what I'm passionate about. And I agree, some really exceptional ones in this collection.
Great to hear that you're involved with poetry club in high school!! That's awesome, more schools need to have poetry initiatives. What exactly do you do in poetry club? Any details you're keen to share?
Fantastic work from such young students, Vuong. I really loved reading them.
Wonderful! I have bunches of magazines and postings from my poetry club and literary magazine. A closed group even developed on Facebook. I retired from teaching 2 years ago.
Thanks Sherry, my students are ecstatic to hear that!
Aha, that sounds fantastic Susan! Would there be any chance I could check out the Facebook page? Bless.
