A Collection of Haikus

PS/IS 122Q Academy for the Intellectually Gifted, Queens, NY

Haiku of Peace
by Peter E. (6th grade)

A bark for a bite.
Just a bullet for a life.
A hug ends it all.

Helpful Haiku
by Aydin A. (6th grade)

Here is a haiku
There’s seven syllables here
And there is five here

Earth
by Eleanor F. (6th grade)

The cold moon looks down
On a green and blue planet
The wonderful Earth

New York
by Amy G. (6th grade)

Big city with bright lights
My forever, loving home
Irreplaceable

Anti-haiku
by Magie S. (6th grade)

Haikus are stupid
They are hard to make any time!
I am frustrated

Haiku: Nighttime
by Yoobin O. (6th grade)

Ink splattered the sky
Forests decline in light and warmth
Dots of light peeking

Lost, ​haiku series
by Syeda H. (6th grade)

So mysterious—
Coming to reality
In a world too big

Feeling hesitant
To meet other people
After a long time
