Do you ever write Haikus? Or other poetry?

I am bored with my... Drat! Foiled yet again by fate The world is so mean Kitty guards my feet She wants me to play guitar I will oblige her Wood chippers shudder Just a mild inconvenience The Queen does not mind I boil some fresh corn And then undo my latches My rent has been paid

I wrote haiku before, but it was for a poetry class. I don’t really write haiku or senryu. I prefer free verse to format poetry.

I have written some free verse stuff about my experiences working in the in the 'hood. It was therapeutic.

@TheHorse I agree that writing poetry can be therapeutic for sure.

We are entering into a poetry unit in fourth grade and we will be studying and writing various poems including haiku and maybe some limericks.

One of my favorite poems, that even kids could appreciate, is Robert Frost's Stopping By Woods On a Snowy Evening.

I like these; I have written some but I prefer free verse—it's much easier to express myself.

I must admit that I have written a few poems in my time The odd Haiku Not sure if any were any good or not though I like the kitty one.
