Haiku from your Tech Department
Posted by: milobo in Uncategorized, tags: literature, npm2009, poem
In honor of National Poetry month, I have two haiku poems to share. I wrote these for a poetry contest at CHS and thought they’d be a perfect complement to the month’s celebration.
If you’re not familiar with National Poetry month, stop in at the Poets.org website and read their description.
And while you’re at it, think about sharing a piece of poetry on your blog this month; either your own writing, that of your students, or even the work of a favorite poet. Our Creative Writing Class is publishing their best poems this month on our school podcast channel and their teacher is creating an exhibit on ALI to share the lessons and activities with other teachers.
Enjoy!
Faint and gray my words,
Are lost in a sea of white.
Add more toner, please.

Loved the first one! Made me chuckle thinking about a near empty toner cartridge so mournfully!

What I like is how you pushed into math with language, and how effective you were. There is a playfulness to your poems.
