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.
The woman on the subway
Wears socks and sandals.
This is just to say:

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
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.
