Haiku poetry

I have to do a haiku poem about the weather for my homework. Why is it called haiku? Can it be longer than three lines long - cos mine is. 😛

Answers

Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme. Because Haikus are such short poems, they are usually written about things we recognise, such as animals or the seasons. If your poem is longer than 3 lines its not a Haiku poem :)

I have to do an essay on this poem but i'm struggling to map my work. My teacher want a key question with minimum 2 parts with 3 sub part this is what i got

So my key question is How does Blacke critizes London's monarchy through a childish poem?

PART I -> a childish poem because a) it's talked about them b) it's short, short sentences b) Blake loves to take children's point of view

PART II -> critizes of London's government a) church is getting more and more black b) it makes people suffers face are 'marks of weakness" c) child labour

Why so much poetry on GCSE courses?

Students often struggle with the amount of poetry on most GCSE courses. Tell me how you feel about poetry … and more specifically about studying the stuff.
