the wee lad

Sam has been creative lately - his class is working on poetry, and he and his grandma worked together to write the following poems. Both forms, Tanka and Haiku, are traditional Japanese poetry. Both topics are traditional 9-year-old boy.

Tanka

Caterpillar juice
Colorful, green and yellow
Like lime and lemon,
But juice you’d not want to drink
Unless you are just mental.


Haiku

Dead flies are such fun
You can play with them a lot
They will make your day.
