May 8, 2009

Homework:
None

Today:
Yes, I have tattoos. :)

I discussed imagery poems today.
Haiku Form
5/7/5 syllable (not set in stone)
First line is one image
Second and third lines are the other image
Express a deep truth through the comparison of the two images.
    The world is harsh
    Love conquers all
    Life is fragile
    We need each other

Examples:

head against head
two spring turtles
sunning on a log


Autumn twilight:
   the wreath on the door
     lifts in the wind

             -Nick Virgilio

middle of the highway
with bells on
our old dog

            -Carol Montgomery
