Magnetic Haiku - 2 - Poetry Slam - Summer Learning Journey Toru Tekau

Today for Summer Learning Journey we had a Poetry Slam task. We had to make magnetic poems. I really like this task so I decided to do another haiku magnetic poem. I made sure I remembered syllables 5,7,5 because if I didn't it wouldn't be a haiku.

Did you know that Magnetic Poetry was invented by Dave Kapell, who was a songwriter? He wrote words on pieces of paper and rearranged them, hoping to use it as a starting point for lyrics. To keep the arrangements of words from being accidentally disturbed, he thought to glue the paper to magnets.

I enjoyed making the poems because I could write whatever I want. It was also hard to make the poems because I only had certain words to use. I made sure that I had a bit of a plan before making them so it was much easier knowing which words are where.

My Summer Haiku - Poetry Slam - Kick Start - Summer Learning Journey Tekau Ma Iwa

Today for Summer Learning Journey we made summery Haikus. 

Haiku Poems came from Japanese literature during the 17th century. It did not have the name Haiku until the 19th century. I did my Haiku about the beach because it's my favourite part of summer. I thought I would do something different this time so I used Jamboard which I know how to use but do not use it very often.

I enjoyed writing my summer haiku because I could choose pretty much anything summery. I really enjoy making these because I love describing things without saying its name and only being allowed to use a certain amount of syllables is really fun and a bit tricky.

I found it tricky to make my haiku in the right format. If you don't know, haikus follow a pattern. Its syllables go from 5 to 7 then 5 again. A few times I thought of something then it was eight syllables so I had to think hard to make it fit and use different words. I used the online thesaurus to help.

Here is my Summer Haiku:

Haiku poem

Today for my summer learning journey I had to make a haiku poem about Summer.
I liked finding an image because it was the easiest bit.
It was hard to make the haiku because It needed to be specifically on Summer.
