My first creative writing class

In my first class today we wrote some HAIKU, which are little poems the Japanese people write.
The form is very strict there is only allowed to be three lines:

1st line - 5 syllables

2nd line - 7 syllables

3rd line - 5 syllables

Generally you are catching a moment, describing something you see -something perhaps that we wouldnt ordinarily notice in our busy lives - and the feeling you get when you see it.

The Japanese usually use natural things and scenes which evoke one or other of the seasons.

I WROTE :

Freezing cold, wind blows

Leaves falling, snow laying down

Children wearing coats

Trying hard to drive

Got car but no money

Third test again soon

Waves crashing high up

the sounds, the smells, the feelings

walking near the sea

Laughing, shouting, cry

hop scotch, IT, kiss chase games

children at school play
