quick run
out of breath
she hits the ground

Hannah Woolard

I can see a girl who is running as fast as she can to the finish line. She is breathing heavy and is out of breath. As soon as she makes it to the finish line she falls because she's so exhausted. Aesha

baskeball soaring
crowd going crazy
as we win the game

wobbly knees
heavy boxes
of golden trophies

Lisa Capasso

This is very visual. I can picture a person who is responsible for putting the trophies out for display or giving them to the people. They have to carry the boxes from the car to the inside of the building. The boxes of trophies are really heavy and make the persons knees wobble all the way into the building. Aesha

working out
gained a 6 pack
the feeling of success

took my chips
the little girl cried

the buzzer rings
I dive into the water
4 more laps

last lap—
the bird passes me

hot
and sweaty

forty pounds to lift
one bench press
broken toe

Hannah Woolard

face feeling tight
peeling off the mask
the soft skin

soaring streaks
of black and white
the goalie fell

one lap ahead—
I fall to my knees
the bell chimes

eye contact—
I turn up the incline

sriracha sauce
mom made last night
early morning run heartburn

bubble bath
the smell of lavender
relaxation

Aesha Bunch

I can smell the lavender and it makes me want to go to sleep. lavender is such a relaxation scent. It makes the reader feel relaxed. Hannah

looking at his arms
muscles as big
as my head

clang
awkward stares
I walk it off

Lisa Capasso

birds chirping
ball on the tee
he swings and misses

the brids chip
the song begins
Bright Eyes glued to the television

Lisa Capasso

sunshine and fairytales
little girls whisper
the toad is prince charming

Hannah Woolard

I really enjoyed this haiku because it really embodies the whole idea surrounding childhood. I have a big love for Disney and as a little girl you are always taught about prince charming. How one day he will come and sweep you of your feet and you will live happly ever after. I was sad to find out when I got older that wasn’t how that worked. I love how that it gives and overwhelming feeling of innocence and still has the magic of Disney. Lisa

the smell of coffee
fills the air
Sparks novels lay on the table

lightning bolt
at first sight
the boy who lived

Hannah Woolard

I really like this haiku. You can definitely tell that it's from Harry Potter. The first thing you notice about Harry Potter is the lightning bolt scar on his forehead. Aesha

red hair
face full of freckles
the Weasley twins up to no good

a hero in black
follows the light
his next adventure

a couple's soft chatter
of the future

unexpected hero

where art thou?

she tries to fly
succeeding

Hannah Woolard

I really enjoy this poem as I said before I love Disney and this is a phrase that is used in all of the parks and tinker bell flies over the castle at the beginning of every Disney movie. It makes me think of Disney how everything started with a mouse and how iconic the whole Disney brand is now. Anyone in the U.S who hears this phrase thinks of Disney. Love the instant story that goes through my head every time I hear that phrase. Lisa

alarm sounds
red flashes
the thief is caught

Hannah Woolard

an innocent outsider
grateful for time
an endless walk

Aesha Bunch

a prolonged voyage
on a large and elegant ship
lovers depart

Aesha Bunch

I love this Haiku because it makes me think of Pirates of the Caribbean I am not sure if that was the purpose of the author but that is where it takes my mind. I get the visual of a pirate ship packed with supplies for a long voyage while the lovers wave goodbye one of the ship the other left back on land not knowing the next time they will see each other. I think of an older time when there was no way of getting in touch with someone unless they were close enough to travel by foot or by horse or if trade or goods where on the market by boat. Lisa

flying through the sky
the town is quiet
gun shots fired

twisting skies
whistling winds
as people take shelter

with a new family

ten years pass
he sees his sweetheart
happily ever after

strawberry moon
her tin man
a little rusty

curtains rise
music plays
the sound of point shoes

Lisa Capasso

I love this haiku because it can relate to the movie Despicable Me. At the end of the movie the three girls put on a dance recital for Gru and the minions. This haiku can also relate to just about anything dance related as well. Hannah
