Today we tried haiku as we ate Halloween candy for dessert after dinner. Nika was really into counting syllables and one of the pieces here is completely her own words. Lina surprised us the other night by reciting most of our first poem by memory. This experiment seems to be paying off... now to the haiku!
(Candy)
Halloween candy
comes in handy,
when sugar is in short supply.
(About Lina)
Vampire lady with purple teeth
climbs on mama's lap,
not too scary.
(About the twins)
Twin girls eat rice
and stroganoff from a bowl,
eternally eating.
(Nika's Flower Haiku)
Flowers fall when it's snowing
without even knowing
when spring is here.
(Nika's Candy Haiku)
When hungry for a sweet
people go trick or treat -
candy is lovely.
In unrelated news, it seems someone reported this blog to Facebook for offensive content. Not sure why. If it was you, let us know so we can figure out why you hate poetry so much :)

1st Grade Life Science - Zombie Edition
Today was parent teacher conference. We found out that Nika went through/is going through a zombie phase. This was from her science class. Kids are awesome!
Now it's your turn. A _____ is living. A zombie ______ is not living.
More poems later this week. We may try dinnertime Haiku.
