A Birthday Haiku

January 25, 2007 By Marta Darby 6 Comments

Stuff you learn when you homeschool your kids (that you probably should have learned in high school or college, but were too busy sleeping or pretending to take notes).

For the uninformed:
The 300 year old Haiku Poem has it’s own discipline. Each complete poem has only 3 lines totalling 17 syllables.
The first line must be 5 syllables. The second line must be 7 syllables. The 3rd line must be 5 syllables.Pb2379921_1

For Katie:

You are twenty one.
   
        It’s a lovely age to be.
       
                Let’s go to Vegas!!

Love,
Auntie M

    dangit…i wrote a whole long comment but then it wouldnt let me post. this is my second attempt…YEAAAAAH!!! i love my haiku!! im 21!!! whos down for vegas??? and whos buying me drinks, because that is totally the super special birthday (unspoken)rule…where you dont have to pay for anything! yeaaah.
    i like the idea of pink streaks, and i like that picture of me…why dont i have that picture? but i should let you know that this month my hair is a dark purple…almost black even…but i think you should do it anyways and take pictures because then later you get to say copious.
    p.s. i like that you explained what a haiku is for all space cadets. i love haikus and i love that you write me a new one every year!! i love you thank you for the blog.
    p.p.s. im almost done with eragon and im totally into it!!

    Katie -Those are all the things I love about you:
    Unpredictable hair color. Brains. That we love books together. And that you’re so easy to write Haikus for. =D. Te quiero mucho!

    Katie – already got the stuff. Jill’s coming over to do it tomorrow night. I’ll make sure we have a camera and take copious pics. ;-)BTW, when you finish Eragon, I have Eldest (the sequel) if you want to keep reading.
