HaiWHO??

Haiku are traditionally a Japanese form of poetry in three lines and seventeen syllables (5-7-5). In modern times many have created humorous takes on haiku. In class, we made haiku about each other.

Here is one about me and by me                                           Revised...

His name is Kalbaugh                                                     The fifth b Kalbaugh
Father, Teacher, Director,                                               Father, Teacher, Director
He plays many roles                                                        Now plays diff-rent roles

Yes, in the revised example, I took poetic license. the mistakes are supposed to be there.

I gave some of you the option of writing a quatrain instead, just in case you like your poems with a bit of rhyme. Something  like...

Mr. Kalbaugh grew up in New York State
Where he resided, until a twist of fate
Brought him to sunny Virginia
Where he tries to hammer some English in ya'!
