Sonnet (14 lines and a rhyme scheme- alternating or couplets)

“The New Colossus,” Emma Lazarus (1883)

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame,

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she

With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Haiku:

The wren

Earns his living

Noiselessly.

- Kobayahsi Issa

Fall Haiku 

Confused by weather
The woman on the subway
Wears socks and sandals.

--Stacey Harwood

This is just to say:

This Is Just to Say
— William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

This Is Just To Say

I have seen

That hot guy

Across

The street

And which

You were probably

Looking

At too

Forgive me

But I

Saw him

First

This is Just to Say

I have shaved

your cat

you kept in

the garage.

and which

you probably wanted

furry,

to pet.

Forgive me,

he was just

so hairy

and gross.
