I absolutely agree with you, Diane, that syllables are not the point and not what I try to teach with haiku, but it always surprises me how hard it can be for students to "think beyond" that aspect. I look forward to checking out the book and your work, thanks!Katie TheLogonautshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992719352402255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-79466886876707399142014-08-09T11:44:16.098-05:002014-08-09T11:44:16.098-05:00Thanks, Michelle, for the shout-out!

Katie, you can see my haiku at <a href="http://www.randomnoodling.com" rel="nofollow">Random Noodling</a>. <br /><br />I'm sorry I missed this post last week! I'd like to recommend <a href="http://randomnoodling.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Haiku</i></a> by Patricia Donegan. It is a how-to written for children, by an "authentic" haiku poet (if you read some of my haiku posts, you will find that I am rather opinionated--I apologize in advance). I would rather haiku not be taught in the schools at all than to have it taught as a lesson in syllables.Diane Mayrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767689319000732296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-4003388202974874832014-08-05T09:55:27.450-05:002014-08-05T09:55:27.450-05:00Thanks for the tips, Michelle, I will check them o...Thanks for the tips, Michelle, I will check them out too!Katie TheLogonautshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992719352402255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-15073828588425631192014-08-04T22:05:56.692-05:002014-08-04T22:05:56.692-05:00I can't really speak to teaching haiku since I...I can't really speak to teaching haiku since I have never been in that role. But for me, looking beyond syllable count is key to getting at haiku's essence. Other Poetry Friday contributors (besides Robyn) who use this form with expertise are Diane Mayr and Liz Steinglass.Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-39552376878119961592014-08-03T20:51:50.461-05:002014-08-03T20:51:50.461-05:00Thanks, Margaret.

It's actually the first book I will talk about in my follow up post next week about books about haiku for kids. I've used it for several years with my students, and they always find it so powerful to hear about how Issa's life is reflected in his haiku. A great jumping off point.Katie TheLogonautshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692992719352402255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-72251535926041861482014-08-03T20:50:36.443-05:002014-08-03T20:50:36.443-05:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Bridget.

This book models the magic of haiku, the single moment in time and nature. I have them look outside or at an image of nature. They usually move beyond the simple sentences and counting and work on imagery.

Haiku has value in both its creation and when reading it. = ) Bridget Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185985167366724404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-48411288228371971852014-08-01T11:07:14.955-05:002014-08-01T11:07:14.955-05:00"The Logonauts" is a very cool name.

Robyn Hood Black has even posted some amazing student haiku.
