Sample poems

Haikus

Butterfly

Butterfly flutter 

Butterflies are whimsical 

Butterfly fly free

African Daisy 

Yellow in petals 

Brown and round like shaped center 

Average flower 

Lantanas

Lantana flowers 

Orangy yellow sunburst 

Warm days -- full bouquets 

 

Tower chimes at six 

World wakes up to a new day

Tiktok tiktok tik

Graceful birds 

Graceful birds fly away 

Looking for food on the ground

Fly feathers white and gray

Rhyme schemes 

I saw a baby dragonfly

Kissing it's feet on the wall 

Stature so small could make you cry 

Staring back at me wishing to be tall

Boots 

Boots by the summer blue door 

Who could be inside? 

Maybe a lonely preacher who tried 

To donate goods to the poor 

Bike riding 

People who take flight 

Like to ride their bikes

As they soar to find a hike

They pass by quickly without a sight
