Part of our home school exercises today featuring the original poetry of my kids, Kai (grade 5) and Aemu (grade 2).  Their poems are unedited and are published as is. Haiku has other related forms such as the senryu, renku, tanka, haibun and haiga. In haiku, it is about  man within the world while in senryu, it is the world within the man.

THE POETRY OF DANCE – A HAIKU SERIES

From Kai:

… the soul expressing

transforming into stories

wonderful and vague…

charged with emotion

that which words cannot portray

bringing us to tears…

From Aemu:

… dancing with no one

in an empty pink chamber

dancing all alone…

dancing in a room

in an empty pink chamber

dancing for Mother…

More to come in the future! Thanks for reading.
