I have always been a fan of poetry. One type of poetry I really enjoy reading is the haiku. The haiku is a poem that usually consists of three lines with a total of 17 syllables. The first line has 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables, and the third line 5 syllables. It describes one event, idea, thing, etc...
So, here's what I would like to suggest:
Let's ALL write a haiku (teachers included) and post it to this blog. Here is mine.
The North Star
Mysterious light
Brilliant but unreachable
Guiding my way home.

CHRISTMAS TREE
Oh Christmas tree tall
With colorful and bright lights
Shining every night

Winter
winter is all snow
making blankets of white
falling from the sky

Christmas Day
Carolers signing
gifts being opened by kids
lights flashing colors

TREES ARE ALL TAKEN DOWN
THE YEAR HAS END WHERE IS CHRISTMAS NOW?
POLAR BEARS
Polar bears are white
They blend in with the white snow
Cute and cuddly soft

CREATIVE WRITING
I STAND HERE IN THE EMPTY HOUSE THAT I ONCE CALLED MY HOME. STARING AT THE FIRE PLACE WHERE ALL MY MEMORIES USE TO STAND. NOW WE’VE BEEN EVICTED 6 NIGHTS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AND I’M WALKING OUT WITH THE WIND AND SNOW BLOWING ME BACK, BUT I KEEP WALKING LOOKING FOR A NEW FIRE PLACE!

His nose shines brightly
To guide the sleigh through the night
To give out presents

Santa Claus
In the cold village
Santa Claus brings the presents
Saying "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

He wears a big, soft, red coat
Reindeer pull his sleigh
