For 20 NUPoints today, write a Haiku about any of the following topics:

ice storms
missing school
Haiti
earthquakes
plans gone awry

Remember, a Haiku has 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the third line.

  1. Icestorms:

    Iceicles forming
    Thunderous rain freezing down
    Mystical ice storm

    Missing School:

    Lights flicker then die
    Bad weather keeps us away
    'til another day

    Wake up to the dark
    Oh so much missed already
    To find theres no school

    Haiti:

    Haiti Oh Haiti
    Horrible castastrophe
    Earthquakes, Death, Decay

    Lives are torn apart
    Tears are shed, salty and blue
    Help Help Someone Help

    Quake Great Quake Destroyed
    Haiti with its poverty
    Why? Lifes so unfair

    Earthquakes:

    Shaking destroying
    A part of nature, so sad
    Tremble Tremor Quake

    Plans Gone Awry:

    Anticipation
    So much leading to that day
    For Disappointment

    Weeks Months spent planning
    For that one day yet to come
    Never to happen

  4. I hate to miss school,
    because we go into June,
    and we miss more break!

  5. Hati--
    Hati is destroyed
    People are in need of things
    Be caring and give

    Missing School--
    We are missing school
    Summer will be very short
    I dislike snow days

    Ice storms--
    Ice, Ice, everywhere
    Shiny, slick, and dangerous
    That's what winter brings

    Haiti is in pain

  8. Ice Storm:

    Rain will freeze today
    Ice falling out of the sky
    Hope it stops quickly

    Haiti:

    Earth Quakes kill people
    Damage is Everywhere
    The US should help

    Missing School:

    School is Out again
    We miss so much already
    Do we need to miss

    Earthquakes:

    Cracking the green ground
    Holes in the earth cause ruckus
    Cars can't go anywhere
