Young Writers discussion

In this game, one writes a haiku, and then leaves the next topic for the next haiku to be written about.

Troubled ants, disturbed
By a clumsy child shoe
Running to the swings.

Next topic: Lemons

Sour, yellow, round
Easier to juice when warm
Comforting to squeeze

Vacations

waves in the distance
sand soft, warm, between toes
no worry, no care

colors

Universal fear
Life's Bermuda Triangle
An unwelcome guest

Ghosts

Timid, cheese-loving
Disney's icon, Tom's hatred
They get caught in traps

Wooden tables

A place for thinking,
Writing poems in the hush
Of the rising sun.



Gum

chewing, chomping, yum
hear "smack" when bubble pops
fruity, chewy, fun


balloons

Coloured plastic sphere,
containing air and child joy.
Pop! It flew too high.

Dogs

"Sit!" "Play dead!" "Good boy!"
A puppy with wagging tail
learning tricks for treats


bicycles

Coasting, gliding, quick!
Go too fast and you could fall
Slow: enjoy the view

Erasers

Made mistake? Fear not-
pink end of pencil rescues:
error gone, fresh start


dessert

veggie not for me-
slippery, leafy green food,
stay far from my plate!


jello

Wiggling, it engulfs
Giant gelatinous blob
Sweet, but unnatural

You killed the haiku
Game everyone had enjoyed
I shall revive it.

Pasta

Sorry!

Bow ties, spaghetti
Angel hair, ravioli
There are many kinds

Sleep

lol I like that one, @colby

That beauty, Rose,
it was so easy for her.
No trouble, just sleep.

Cold

I hate being cold
Icicles on my bare arms
Uncomfortable

Mirrors

Everywhere around,
Reflections, ghosts of me, haunt
On and on, forever

Gummy bears

Rainbow of colors
Artificially sweetened
I like red ones best

Haikus

A measured poem
Five, seven, five. A moment
Captured in three lines.

Sponges

Fluffy, round or square
Crying until no more tears
Can be squeezed out.

(Sorry, that wasn't a proper haiku.)

Apologies

Something I regret
"Sorry" doesn't say enough
Won't happen again

Math homework

scratches of pencil
numbers, fractions, dec'mals...
hope-pray- answer's right


writing

I will write a haiku about writing about nature :P

It is so hard to
Depict the beautiful earth
In words on a page

((@sev- smooth. i see what you did there.
topic please?))

Topic, where art thou?
I shall be your shining Good Knight
I'll resurrect you

Burnt pancakes

My pancakes were burnt
I ate them anyway though
They were delicious

Dinosaurs

WHY DO I ALWAYS FORGET >:(

They were long ago
Giant lizards roamed the earth
All that's left is rock

Forgetting things

Quite soft; very loud
Noise: measured in decibels
I don't like loud noise

Simplicity

hahahahaha
hahahahahahaha
hahahahaha

(sorry, had to.)

haikus.

That soooooo made me laugh out loud

Five syllables here
Seven syllables right here
And once again five

Bran muffins

Healthy they tell me
Part of a nutritious meal
I never tried one.


Paper

HAHAHAHA. Love it.

One blank white landscape
So much potential right here
One only must think

Writing essays

Writer's block hits hard
Then suddenly, an idea!
This essay still sucks.

Rain

Cute Furry Creatures
Carrot nibbling animals
Nibble nibble nibble yum yum

Books

Magic, adventures
New worlds to travel through
All found in a book.


Numbers

Often overlooked
Junk can also be treasure
Lost once the truck comes

Banana peels

Jude wrote: "One two three four five
One two three four five six seven
One two three four five

Garbage"

Oh... my... that was hilarious.

Known to be slipp'ry
Used much for comic relief
High in potass-yum

Apple devices.

Always there for you
Pick you up when you fall down
Friendship is magic!!!

(CHEESY)

Cheese

String cheese to Gouda
I like the red wax circles
Cheese goes on pizza

Vacuums.

hear the sound from far
away, louder than engines;
messy rooms no more.

tissues

No one hears you cry
But soft tissues, always there
For you. Weep no more.

Eyeballs

What a cool topic.
They let you see everything
Right in front of you.

Hearts

Suit in a card deck
Organ that keeps you alive
I less than three you

YouTube

Wasting all my time
Watch the funny videos
Listen to music

Trees

You forgot the next topic
Not the only one

When was the last time you went out of town?

I don't even know what I just did there, am I getting topics confused or something?

The next topic is QUILTS.

Planes fly in the sky
I have never been in one
They go very high

... Yeah, I don't know.

Roller coasters
