November- Thanksgiving: The "month's" poetry: Haiku Remember: Creating a Haiku requires three lines as follows: 5 syllables 7 syllables 5 syllables Also, you need not ensure that a sentence ends at each line; perhaps your Haiku is only one sentence total!

I told you about my winning Haiku in graduate school, but I never told you what it was. For readers of the page--here it is. // If you try to crack // // roasted chestnuts, there's always // // one that won't open //



Special Opportunity FreeWrite: 1. Your writing must tell me what you think my haiku means //**figuratively**//. 2. Get your your work to me (silently)... do not tell classmates you saw this or did this. 3. If you succeed, you can get up to 10 points of extra credit, **//if//** you complete this brief writing and get it to the teacher with **no hub-bub.**
