Favorite Places Haikus Vol. 1 (2025-2026)

In our fourth lesson of our Poetry Unit, our students learned about the haiku, a Japanese short-form poem. They learned about the 5-7-5 syllable rule and the technique of how to say more with less.

As an homework assignment, students were asked to write haikus about the top 3 favorites places they have traveled to. It can be anywhere near their home, in Hong Kong or in another country they’ve visited.

Here are some of the highlights:

Nara Park, Japan

The lagoon ripples

New visitors chatter much

The clouds form cute cats

Cotton covers ground,

Animals are all sleeping.

Snowballs everywhere.

Blossoms float  in air, 

Leaves of green and yellow descend,

Nature’s gift to us.

Snow falls on the ground.

Coaster climbs so high,

Cool air rushes past my face,

Stare at the skies 

Sea waves rush to the bridge

Remember the past
