This blog is intended to help me write more poetry every week on Wednesdays for my blog assignment in school. I will post a poem at least once a week to meet the academic requirement for the English class and to help me improve my writing skills. I started writing poetry in a poetry class at school and thoroughly enjoyed it. I bought a little black notebook specifically for writing, and I will post some of the poems every week. This weeks poem will just be a simple haiku that I will write on the spot because I don't have my little black notebook with me. So here goes:
Redwoods remind me
of music and shooting stars
Irish strings, and You.
I don't like writing Haikus because you have to fit a bunch of things into very little words, and I have so much to say sometimes. That haiku was about a week in the redwoods of Santa Cruz learning beautiful music and meeting amazing people. So tune in next Wednesday for more poems!
Nice haiku. I like and don't like them. They are super easy to write because they are, after all, only 17 syllables, but they are hard to write well because they are, after all, only 17 syllables. Yours is good, though try it again without much of the connective tissue, and without capitalizing You, unless you want us to think it abut God. Or Jesus.
