Holy Cross Sophomore Poetry 2022 P8

Holy Cross H.S. Sophomore Poetry

Period 8 Sophomore English Collected Haikus

Introductory Comments: During the month of January, the sophomores studied poetry.

They studied how poets write, what tools poets use, and how poets think. They read everything from modern poets to Shakespeare. They studied the forms, the structures and the images poets use to speak to us. They studied the heck out of poetry. In the end, they became poets themselves, exploring their lives in the Japanese haiku form. The subject of the collection of poems is “A Day In The Life.” We took the idea from the old Beatles song of the same name where Lennon and McCartney described what they did on a given day. They worked hard in crafting their poems and wrote from their hearts. I had fun watching them become published poets. I hope you enjoy reading their poems as much as I have.

The day of in the life By - Ethen Barcia

I wake up with a Sleepy and tired look i wash away To begin my day I sit down hearing The teacher’s loud voice travel across the classroom Get home sleepy and tired Prepare to do my homework Then i get hungry The food is ready to be Served at the dinner table Ready to be eaten

Games

I go and play games When i play the game my character has chains My character can aim

Just a day I usually spend, but I don’t really walk. I kind of just wanted to describe how I felt when I did once.

Sunday Teatime By - Marianna Costidis

Dawn

This bright, blissful dawn Is nature’s special love song Made by her own hands

Daybreak

Choices at daybreak Go out, go in? So many ideas “I’ll dance with nature.”

Dusk

At last, “Welcome home” I left the dance early, but Peace is in my heart

Nightfall

Peaceful and quiet The world falls tightly asleep The tea sits by me

The frustration of work.

The annoyance of life By- Konstantine Dakis

Haikus

Get up from bed go get ready Drive to school do work seeming pointless work go back home.

But go to sleep remerbing you must go to school for better life.

What happens in a normal morning

A day in school By -Adrian Devarez

After a sleepless night I am not on time

My parents are very mad No time for breakfast

The trip to school

I rush out of house The wind flows through out my hair I get there to late

Finally a break

The bell rings in class I make my way to lunch room I eat tons of food

The end of school

It is now spanish I can not wait to go home And play online games

I am writing about the average school day for me. For example what I do when I wake up, how I get there and how I head back from it.

A regular school day By -Peter Diaz

Waking up for school

I woke up hungry I eat pancakes for breakfast I drink orange juice

Getting to school

I rush to the bus I head to my school on bus I rush into school

Geometry class

I go in math class I am confused by the work I leave the math class.

Dinner time

I eat my dinner I brush my teeth hard after I play games after

To write these haikus I have to think about many details of my days and how to fit those many details into a small amount of writing. I wrote these to express the stress of one day in a cycle, just to wake up stressed for school again, overwhelmed.

The cycle By - Michael Geiger

First meal of the day

I wake up hungry Now I go downstairs to eat the day can begin

Travel to stress

I wake up stressed out Now i have to get ready Now to drive to school

Classes of anxiety

Five days in a week Seven classes in a day The source of my stress

Temporary relief

A relief of stress Time for me to be alone Dread next period

This haiku is about the game of football and the player winning with the last touchdown.

Football By -Issac Glaudin

Football

Ready to play ball, I catch the football and run, I score the touchdown

Breakfast

Turn on the lights now.

Already i smell pancakes, The butter smells sweet

Commute

The long car ride sucks, I hate getting up early.

I wish i can sleep

Return Home

I am going home, Now it is time to do work, Then i will relax

These haiku’s are about routine in everyday life. It’s based on what I’m feeling and what is going on throughout my day.

Routine By: Alexa Halvatzs

First meal

Toaster bell just rang Now going to spread the jam And crunch goes the toast

Rushing

Running like race Almost falling on my face Luckily all in place

Dozing off

Eyes slowly closing Teachers voice slowly fading Soon to be asleep

Comfy clothes

Throwing my backpack My uniform being hung Cozy clothes are on

A Day In The Life By - Prestin Housen

Breakfast

Wake up exhausted Get dressed too tired for breakfast Waiting for day to start

Break/Lunch

Sit down exhausted Ignore the nuisance near me Tired and eating Teachers are screaming Students are tired and sleeping Teachers are annoyed

Classes Return home

Come home tired and stressed Work overrides sleepiness Video Game sounds

Haiku By Justin Kissane

Haikus By - Kyle Lewis

Mom Calls

My mom calls my name She makes me a plate of food I eat and lay down

Waking up hungry

I wake up hungry I smell food in the kitchen My mom made breakfast

Lunch time

I wait on the line I talk to friends while i wait I eat my school lunch

Getting home

I unlock the door I eat and take a shower I take a long nap

My poems explain how my days go and how it is like. It explains what I do during my breakfast, how I get to school, how my classes go, sports, and how I go home.

Another Day Another Dollar By : Jayden Lipsey Wake up put shoes on Get a basketball and ball Get on the ball court Snooze the phone get dressed Brush teeth do hair get packed up Leave and go to school Grab pencil start writing Finish class go to next one Math is hard for me When break starts we chill Eat lunch and talk all day long Until day is dawn Go home do homework Study for test to do better Get in bed to sleep

The haikus describe my life and how everything goes in my everyday life and how it affects the rest of my day and how it goes affecting my life.

A day to wake more money to make By - Ethan Magalee

Home again

I put down my bag I take off my clothes from school I shower i eat

Eats at school

I have lunch midday I have lots of fun at lunch The food is mad bread

Travel to home

I take the sixteen I walk about ten minutes I get to my crib

Fresh off the wake

I make eggs wake up I pour myself orange juice I wash my dishes

My School Life- My life at school revolves around how I wake up in the morning. My life at school revolves around me having all I need for the day. My school life revolves around how the drive to school and the talk I have with my parents go. The last class tells me that I'm almost done with a good school day.

My day might not have gone well but I released my feelings at home. When I get home I get my homework done and relax by eating a quick snack to hold me until dinner.

How My School Days Go By: Kayla Marcelin My Mornings

My alarm goes off I sit and think for a while.

I get dressed and eat.

The Drive

I run out the house.

I have two bags and water.

I sit in the car.

The Last Class

I go to Spanish.

I learn a new language now.

I enjoy learning.

The Work After School

I come home and work.

I finish all my homework.

I eat a quick snack.

I would use my haiku to show how I live through my days and what I do each and every day and how I live my day and days as a student athlete and I wanted to show how I feel throughout my day. I want the listener to get the message that no matter how hard life is never give up.

My Haikus is about daily life. They are during the weekdays

The weekdays life By - Alexander Rouzeau

The ending of day

Go and eat dinner Feed my dog, he is hungry Put sheets on bed, sleep

Relax, chill, and have fun

Go play basketball Go inside and take a bath Watch television

Mornings are hard

Get into a car Listen to music and rest Get out of the car

Afternoons make you hungry

Go and eat some lunch Pay money to eat good food Go back and walk home

What someone’s life is like in a world where poems take over.

A Day In A Poetic World BY - Mauricio Santiago

As the Sun Shines Bright While breakfast is smelling nice We will all now dine

Haiku

Eating egg sandwich Is such a delightful dish Repeat everyday Get home very fast Finish all of the homework Have all the freedom Some classes are good Some class are terrible This is ongoing.

After a long time My stomach rumbles really loud.

Go eat or go sleep

These poems describe a day in my life.

Day in my life By - Samantha Weissman

Good morning

Sunshine fills the room A bacon scent roams the air The day waits ahead.

The walk of wonder

I breath in fresh air, As I stroll, I wonder.

Today is a good day.

Lunch break

As I grab my food, My friends gather around the table We eat, and we laugh.

When the sun sets

Day comes to an end I can hear my stomach talking I can't wait to eat.

I want people to relate because everyone goes to school and wants to go home, during school they chill with their friends, and when they reach home they just relax.
