Vacation is full of girls
All tanning on the beaches
They are eye candy

When on vacation
You can be a new person
Put on a new look

Vacation

Vacation is fun,
And you can go to the beach,
And go to the zoo.

Everyone should leave
this terribly awful place,
California bound

Vacations can be
Fun. You can play in the sun.
you can even run.

Vacation

It has adventure
You might have fun on the way
It is RNR

It is of romance
Of restaurants and passion
Love is in the air

Vacation
A time to travel
And leave annoying teachers
I love vacation!

Vacation
Get away from school
And get away from your job
Take your vacation.

VACATION
Vacation is fun,
Go and see your family
And see what they do.


VACATION
A time to have fun,
Or be with your family
Or even do both.

Nichole's Vacation, I like her poem because that is how i feel when school gets out for the summer.

Jim's Vacation, I like his poem because it is funny, but yet it is also true!

BREAD

bread is good
bread mold doesn't taste very good
unless you use jam

Anonymous said...

Ocean

It can be graceful
It is of a peaceful site
Mostly relaxed

At times it can change
It can be mean and cruel
The strangth unleashed

The color black is
Very dark it is like the
Night. You cant see nothin’.

School is almost done,

School is now no more!!!

The sunset

Beautiful sunset
It is like heaven to me
I wish I could stay

Apple

Apples are juicy
Succulent and delicious
Beautiful and red

SNOW
Soft white fluffy snow
Drifts down to the world below
Surrounding all life

Anonymous said...

Hanging with my friends
Fishing bowling sleeping in
Time away from school

Vacation

Going on a cruise
Belize and Cozumel
To celebrate life

Pat-awesome description about the dark. Jason-I don't think jam fixes the taste of mold.

Fall

Fall brings windy days
Colorful leaves all around
Better get raking

Jasmine said...

Nice work. I love some of the surprise endings (like the turtles or the zoo).

I think it is interesting that many of you picked similar aspects of vacation to highlight.

Jason - I love the haiku about moldy bread. Completely unexpected!

My 3 Haikus

Apple

Seed, root, branch, apple
Watch it grow into a fruit
Eat the apple fresh

Sun

Red Yellow Orange
Burning brightly in the sky
The sun keeps us warm.

Rest

Go to school all day
Work after school every day
Then go home and sleep

With a blue eye, he isn’t shy
He is soft, not coarse

turtles are cool and why moldy bread

Jasmine said...

Eric, I am ready for a change in weather as well. Although, I am unlikely to go for a run, Pat. I much prefer a little RNR and sleeping in as Scott and Casey mention. I think I'm going to look into the cruise that Mrs. Herrara mentions...
