WHAT'S'AT? A HIGH-COO?

  • A haiku is a Japanese poem of 5, 7, & 5 syllables in 3 lines.
  • Modern American haiku are . . . whatever, but still in 3 lines.
  • high-coo.com
    is the new haiku website of Booker T. Washington Magnet High School's Creative Writing magnet. All copyrights to all poems on this website belong to their individual authors, and none may be reproduced without written consent. Leaves stick to windows
    Chasing the last as they fall
    Fall at last is here

    Gaze at the water
    Watch the ripples wash over
    Distorting my face

    Acid rain pours down
    Running down closed windows
    Bellow the earth dies

    Driving down the road
    The trees are a blur of green
    There lies one black tire

    My face points upward
    The sun shines down upon it
    In a blinding light

    Just to let you know
    I've become obsessed with trees
    Please don't cut them down

    Leaves like painted dots
    Smeared down a white canvas
    A mass murdered group

    I daily wonder
    If I were a tree
    Would you cut me down?

    Looking up, wondering
    Why must the sun blind me so
    Must it be so MEAN

    Along the sidewalk
    Through the dark, two eyes staring
    It's not Halloween

    Used as fish tank rocks
    A sad example of earth
    Becoming white dead

    Invisible snow
    Falling outside my window
    I choose to stay in

    Cleansing memories
    Again the rain is falling
    So let the rain fall

    One by one they drop
    Thrown into black funerals
    Only forgotten
