Comments

I like this poem because it has rhyming and repetition. Also, I appreciate it is a different assortment. You have a good chance of being on the leaderboard though, i'm not saying I hate haikus. They still have a very good chance. I also like yours because it has a surprise ending. This isa good skill in poetry. In your poem, it is disguisting and bad things at first though, in the end it is calming and has a sentence that makes the reader feel good. This is also a good skill if your readers feel the poem. I have not posted the next leaderboard yet but right now you are #1 and this is why.

can you please post the leaderboard?thanks!

---

What is the leaderboard right now?

---

I know several other people have asked about this, but I was wondering if you could please get the leaderboard up sometime soon? Thanks a ton!

Answer 2

Poem! I'd Like To Poem!!!!

Fly to outer space,  win the fastest Olympic race.

See to a far away land, go backstage to see a famous band.

Win the world's greatest feat, have someone who I could always beat.

Sit in the front row in a play, eat all the food in the world in a day.

I wish to see forbidden lands from a far, catch a glimpse of a shooting star.

Wish to listen to stories untold, have a vault filled with gold.

Wish to own all things, have 100 diamond rings

Go shopping at the mall without having to pay, have unlimited words to say.

Comments

yours also has a surprising ending like Dancer 727 AND it makes you laugh

in this poem there is

repetition and rhythm. Good job that's more than one thing required. Also, you have a better chance of getting on the leaderboard because you gave me a different kind of poem

Answer 3

can my vines poem be an entry?

Comments

Of course. It is original and includes repetition. Can you copy and paste it here so it is easier to find?

i don't know how to paste or copy it but in the search box in the upper right hand corner and type in "vines," i'm sure you'll find it!!

Answer 4

I Am moving the deadline to May 15

Answer 5

Just a reminder that it does not have to be a Haiku. I would prefer a variety.

Answer 6

Here is a haiku poem.

The first one is about Love

Love should be cherished

Love is the best thing ever

Love will save your life.

Comments

This isn't a haiku either- it has 8 syllables in the second line.

---

good eye, absolute Owl

---

Love is the best thing.

---

There. I changed it so it can qualify.

---

you are now in third place

1. Strength

2. AbsoluteOwl

3. Love

---

Haiku doe not have 8 syllables on the 2nd line it               has 7.

Answer 7

This is my entry:

What is a haiku?

I am trying to write one.

Oh. Wow. I just did.

Comments

:) nice one

---

cool! I describe it creative, inventive, and outside of the box. I will keep this one in mind. Good Luck!

---

That technically isn't a haiku poem because on the last line, "Oh. I just did." That is only 4 syllables.

---

Thanks for pointing that out, Cindy!

---

You are very good. Because I'm not understanding the question.

---

If you haven't noticed, I edited my haiku so it now qualifies.

---

A haiku is a Japanese poem with syllable rules. 3 syllables on the 1st line, 7 on the second, and 5 on the 3rd.

---

Sup bro ,

COOL

---

No its not its really 5 because she said Oh.Wow.I just did.
