The Year Throughout

Red leaves, falling leaves,

Raining more leaves, Yellow leaves,

Brown leaves, goodbye leaves.

Snow, Ice, Sleet, Frost, Hail,

Laid out like a huge sno-cone.

“Huh” Here comes the sun.

Rain pummels the ground

The street is paved once again

The flowers will bloom

Summer is ice cream

It’s sprinting out to short-stop

Summer is my life

This was a set of four Haikus and there was one for each season. There are a lot of poems about seasons, but I wanted one for all four in order, to show the flow of the year. A haiku is a poem about nature, that has 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the second, and 5 again on the third. I would say that line breaks are a big part of my poem. There is also rhythm and repetition in the autumn one, repetition in the summer one, and imagery in the spring and winter ones. I really like the way it turned out, and I think it was a good idea for a set of 4 poems. I like how different all my poems are, and I also like the flow that it gives throughout the year.
