4T - Haiku Poems

Haiku is a type of Japanese poetry. It is usually about nature. It consists of only 3 lines. The first line has 5 syllables; the second line has 7 and the last line has 5 syllables. Here are a few examples.

I flutter around.

First I’m a caterpillar.

 My wings have  Colours.

I Laugh in the day.

I eat frogs and yummy worms. 

I am an Aussie.

I wiggle in ground. 

I help loosen up the soil. 

I live in ground.

Orange haired monkey,

Found in Indonesia

I’m a ‘jungle man’

Lazy and quiet

I can go in slow motion

I hang in the trees

I’m a type of bird

That can go ‘Too-whit-too-whoo!’

Like cats, I eat rats.

I’m very loyal

Be my best friend forever

I’ll woof happily

I look black and white.

I like eating bamboo, yum!

This thing’s true: I’m cute!

I’m sneaky and sleek

‘I hunt for chickens, watch out!’

I’d say to farmers.
