Some Haikus

Here are some haikus I wrote for school. The teacher gave us some questions, and we had to answer them and write a poem with them. Anyways, here they are:

Go catch shooting stars

On your tongue, can it be done?

I do not think so


If your hair’s dirty

Rub it with dry oatmeal

It won’t do a thing


Tolerate balloons

No matter what sense it makes

Because it makes none


Can you teach your hen

To make you some chicken soup

If it’s made from her?


Can a great big axe

Apply powder to your nose?

Maybe, maybe not


Put watermelons

In a small berry basket

But they won’t be safe


Would you, perhaps, eat

A bullet at its top speed

Streaking towards you?


If you were to shrink

To the size of a pea, are

Your feet your first thought?


If you were to sprout

A tail, where would you keep it?

Not in your pocket
