Journal 8: Haiku

Read "All" by Bei Dao and "Also All" by Shu Ting (page 206-207).  Then write a haiku as a response to either or both of the poems.

Include an oxymoron in your poem.

A haiku is a three line poem. Line one has 5 syllables.  Line two has 7 syllables. Line 3 has five syllables.
There is a cutting between lines 2 and 3 which shows a contrast between two distinct images/ideas.

Beneath the haiku write three responses: three sentences about why you wrote the poem, three sentences about the poetic devices (include at least 3 in your poem), and three sentences about haiku form (or the form you chose to use/adapt if you did not follow the conventional structure).  Make sure to include three vocabulary words from Unit 10/11 either in your poem and/or in your responses.
