Haiku

Alishia 2008 (Saint Louis)



                         I heard a big BOOM                    
                      My tongue tingle as i drank      
                     There was a loud THUMP          
                      Then there was a CLACK           
                   The ice cream was really cold      
                        There was a bright light                              
                       Your eggs were yellow               
                  I turned around and said WOW
                      You look good in green
                            Her hair is purple
                     She has a huge pink jacket
                          His hair was crunchy
                            His hair was fluffy
                           I like the color purple
                        There was a big SPLAT  
                                  It was slippery
                As my friend thinks she says "HMMM"
                            That cornbread was dry
                             He honked a loud BEEP
                       That was some crispy chicken
                                The chips were spicy
                                The sun faded quick  
                          The gum was really chewy
                                My gum was minty    
                                    It was a hot day
                               The food was really salty
                                 The juice was pleasing
                                 The cat said MEOW
                            I heard a loud HISS outside
                                  That is old perfume
                                 My slushy melted
                         The ice cream was really cold
                                 This is kind of bland
                                    She talk quietly      
                            I do not eat sweet pickles    
                              My nose was stuffy
                               Then i heard a MOO
                             The lady was wrinkly.
                            That was a big SWOOSH
                            The fruit was actually fresh
                             Your food is cheesy
                                 Her shirt was silky  
                    He screamed KA-POW really loud
                                Your nails are shiny
                                I heard a WHISPER
                             Do you have a fast charger
                                   You are brilliant
                               Outside i heard BARK
                               You wear a lot of yellow   
                                His hair was crunchy
                                 I went loudly POW
                       As she chewed i heard a CRUNCH
                                 The pizza was burnt
                                    Her hair is purple
                              Her hair is red in the back
                             The birds CHIRPED at night
                               I stepped in wet chips
                            It was foggy last weekend  
                            Then there was a CLACK
                           Have you tried pink sauce
                        The popcorn POPPED very loud
                               I heard a loud BUZZ
                          The bear GROWLED loudly  
                          That is a huge red jacket
                               That is a big dog  
                               The lime was sour  
                          My favorite color is pink
                            That is a small ring
