Basho and Haiku...

This week we are rowing The Grass Sandals (as well as A Pair of Red Clogs, for Caitlyn) and have been enjoying studying Japan and some Japanese traditions. Today we studied Haiku and Noah tried his hand at writing some. He really does have a gift of writing, if I do say so myself. Don't let me color your opinion, though, see for yourself!

Dewdrops on the webs shine
Beauty is everywhere
Plants look toward the sun.

Leaves are shuttering
They're shadows in the night moon.
Water flows into streams.

Notice that inversion in the first line, a natural I tell ya'!

  1. That's great! He's quite descriptive and poetic. Beautiful job, Noah.
