Holy Cross H.S. Sophomore Poetry
Period 8 Sophomore English Collected Haikus
Introductory Comments: During the month of January, the sophomores studied poetry. They studied how poets write, what tools poets use, and how poets think. They read everything from modern poets to Shakespeare. They studied the forms, the structures and the images poets use to speak to us. They studied the heck out of poetry. In the end, they became poets themselves, exploring their lives in the Japanese haiku form. The subject of the collection of poems is “A Day In The Life.” We took the idea from the old Beatles song of the same name where Lennon and McCartney described what they did on a given day. They worked hard in crafting their poems and wrote from their hearts. I had fun watching them become published poets. I hope you enjoy reading their poems as much as I have.

Just a day I usually spend, but I don’t really walk. I kind of just wanted to describe how I felt when I did once.
Sunday Teatime By - Marianna Costidis
Dawn
This bright, blissful dawn Is nature’s special love song Made by her own hands
Daybreak
Choices at daybreak Go out, go in? So many ideas “I’ll dance with nature.”
Dusk
At last, “Welcome home” I left the dance early, but Peace is in my heart
Nightfall
Peaceful and quiet The world falls tightly asleep The tea sits by me
The frustration of work.
The annoyance of life By- Konstantine Dakis

What happens in a normal morning
A day in school By -Adrian Devarez

My parents are very mad No time for breakfast
The trip to school
I rush out of house The wind flows through out my hair I get there to late
Finally a break
The bell rings in class I make my way to lunch room I eat tons of food
The end of school
It is now spanish I can not wait to go home And play online games
I am writing about the average school day for me. For example what I do when I wake up, how I get there and how I head back from it.

Geometry class
I go in math class I am confused by the work I leave the math class.
Dinner time
I eat my dinner I brush my teeth hard after I play games after
To write these haikus I have to think about many details of my days and how to fit those many details into a small amount of writing. I wrote these to express the stress of one day in a cycle, just to wake up stressed for school again, overwhelmed.
The cycle By - Michael Geiger
First meal of the day
I wake up hungry Now I go downstairs to eat the day can begin
Travel to stress
I wake up stressed out Now i have to get ready Now to drive to school
Classes of anxiety
Five days in a week Seven classes in a day The source of my stress
Temporary relief
A relief of stress Time for me to be alone Dread next period
This haiku is about the game of football and the player winning with the last touchdown.
Football By -Issac Glaudin
Football
Ready to play ball, I catch the football and run, I score the touchdown
Breakfast
Turn on the lights now. Already i smell pancakes, The butter smells sweet
Commute
The long car ride sucks, I hate getting up early. I wish i can sleep
Return Home
I am going home, Now it is time to do work, Then i will relax
These haiku’s are about routine in everyday life. It’s based on what I’m feeling and what is going on throughout my day.
Routine By: Alexa Halvatzs
First meal
Toaster bell just rang Now going to spread the jam And crunch goes the toast

Eyes slowly closing Teachers voice slowly fading Soon to be asleep
Comfy clothes
Throwing my backpack My uniform being hung Cozy clothes are on

My School Life- My life at school revolves around how I wake up in the morning. My life at school revolves around me having all I need for the day. My school life revolves around how the drive to school and the talk I have with my parents go. The last class tells me that I'm almost done with a good school day. My day might not have gone well but I released my feelings at home. When I get home I get my homework done and relax by eating a quick snack to hold me until dinner.
How My School Days Go By: Kayla Marcelin My Mornings
My alarm goes off I sit and think for a while. I get dressed and eat.
The Drive
I run out the house. I have two bags and water. I sit in the car.
The Last Class
I go to Spanish. I learn a new language now. I enjoy learning.
The Work After School
I come home and work. I finish all my homework. I eat a quick snack.
I would use my haiku to show how I live through my days and what I do each and every day and how I live my day and days as a student athlete and I wanted to show how I feel throughout my day. I want the listener to get the message that no matter how hard life is never give up.

The ending of day
Go and eat dinner Feed my dog, he is hungry Put sheets on bed, sleep
Relax, chill, and have fun

Day in my life By - Samantha Weissman
Good morning
Sunshine fills the room A bacon scent roams the air The day waits ahead.
The walk of wonder
I breath in fresh air, As I stroll, I wonder. Today is a good day.
Lunch break
As I grab my food, My friends gather around the table We eat, and we laugh.
When the sun sets
Day comes to an end I can hear my stomach talking I can't wait to eat.
