Season Haiku’s
04/07/2019
Fall
The start of school
The end of summer break
Begins football season
Catching up with friends
After not seeing them
That’s what fall is about
The joy of touchdowns
Rushing to homecoming
For the tasty treats
Eying the leaves fall
Hoping for snow to come
Enjoying the view
When I was writing about haikus about this season I thought of the things I look forward to most during spring. Football and catching up with my friends I haven’t seen in a while. I knew I needed to somehow incorporate that into my writing so that’s what I did. For my last haiku I took a different approach talking about the scenery fall brings. The technique I used for this season was narrowing and expanding, and images and action.
Winter
The white fluffy snow
Forcing you to stay inside
While drinking co co
Basketball season
The time to do what I love
Couldn’t ask for better
The Fenn tournament
Facing against Fay school
Win game or go home
The countless hours
Of shoveling in the cold
Just to repeat later
When I was writing my winter haiku poems I reflected on why winter was my favorite season, and the rest was easy. I look forward to this season since I love playing basketball so much. During my fenn varsity basketball season I always looked forward to the tournament and hopefully facing Fay in the finals as they were the top dogs. What I don’t look forward to is shoveling. I’m literally out in the cold for hours. Its horrible. The technique I used for this season was images on action. I felt like winter is a season where I do a lot of cool things and I wanted the reader to be able to imagine that.
Spring
Relaxing season
Sports I care about are done
Now it’s time to chill
School applications
The worst feeling in my life
Will things go as planned
The China essay
8 to ten pages of pain
For the grade I want
The game of tennis
The boring game of baseball
Memories at track
Spring is easily my least favorite season. The reason why is because the really isn’t any sport that I like so I don’t really do anything I find extremely fun to me. I just play sports because I have to. To go on with the fact that all the sports in spring are horrible it is also the season of school applications. The stress of finding out where you will be going next year is horrible. Lastly this 8-10 page China essay is just the cherry on top of why spring is my least favorite season. When I was writing my haikus of spring i used the images on images technique to create a picture of what happens during my spring season.
Summer
90 degree weather
Summer basketball league
Winning championships
The joy of no school
The pain of not seeing friends
The blast of sleeping late
Vanilla ice cream
Everlasting taste of goodness
Until the last lick
New songs coming out
Listening to them on repeat
The joy of summer
For my summer haiku I decided to use an images on images approach. Summer is a great time and I wanted the reader to really see what happens during my summer season.
