Thank you, very usefull.
I wrote and prepared a good poem

I’m the small mouse in this rude world
Trying to learn the english
It’s so difficult and annoying
But with Gill’s help it’s will be easy

Please estimate my poem ))

Hi. Thank you for this lesson.
Not a poet but still I would like to share mine with you guys.
With broken win’s and sorrow
Feelin’ like Fall and there’s no tomorrow
Let the wind take your tear
Fear not and start to grow
Well I do know it’s not haiku but hope you like it.

The fish seemed funny
I ate it, I laughed till tears
Was a clown fish, dear

Better this way?

The fish tastes funny
I ate it, I laughed till tears

Love is pure, yet overrated
How can i survive in your absence
with you or without you

Cachtai

It was a beautiful and a great lesson; thanks a lot, Gill. This is my Haiku.
“My crazy country
you have got your shiny chance
but you trash it, shit”

MarioMP

English is crazy
It makes people laugh and cry
I’ll give it a try

古池や　蛙飛び込む　水の音
It implies the scenary and how quiet it is around the pond, and how the poet felt then. The imagination is the key of Haiku.
5-7-5 poems are so deep in language.

What should I go now?
I’m the only bird on the sky.
Hope somebody can be my side.

Thanks you Gill. This lesson on the Haiku is very interesting and congrat to your friend for her London Haiku.

Here’s the result of your lesson (lugubrious, he ?) :

The wind blows too much
In the hollow halls of my past
Let it ! Now I’m warm.

How to learn English well.

appleangel

In the quiz,there is a question asking “From which country does the haiku form originate?”
Is this sentence grammatically correct? For I think “originate” is also a verb.

Thanks English I can connect with Japanese people, and learn about their culture and civilization. So I am very grateful to Engvid.com and all teachers to improve my communication skills.
