Mr. Kinsley Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Surely this kid has it in the bag.... Actually, another kid who didnt' end up writing a haiku blurted out while watching Monday in Ashes, "That guitar is cool, but I sure hope I don't win that suit!" Much laughter ensued and about 6 kids tried to work that into their poems. The one that kills me is this one: Father, please don't leave The moon says that you love me I'm sad without you His dad passed away at the beginning of the school year. I was fairly choked up typing that in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Seeing as my class keeps asking me everyday about the contest, does anyone have any idea when they'll announce the winners? Not saying I'm expecting anything, I just want to have answers for pesky 11-year olds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I was thinking the same...I wouldn't want to be the one trying to judge all those entries! Your kiddos did some amazing work, Kinsley. You should be very proud of how well your lesson worked out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimthedrummer Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Not a twitterer... but here's my haiku: Summertime was greatWilco played the Northeast StatesWhen will they return? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
okayalright Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hello, I thought I'd add my haiku, too (not winners, but I enjoyed writing them): Aural armada,Will not comply; Wilco rock, With arms open wide. A Dutch dope high coup:Above the surface tempest,Sounding deeper still. A breeze blowing through,Nature’s feedback amplified;Avant-garden song. Winding road and clock,Wilco wrote the camel’s back;Here, for the long haul. You and I, Wilco,Though two far-apart speakers,We co-create thus. The Wilco current:Direct, despite resistance;Alternating now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
