Haiku
Sky so blue and wide,
trees are tall, they reach the clouds,
running through the grass.
Yes! It has the right number of syllables, which means it follows the 5-7-5 structure!
Oh, radiant sun, so high,
Your golden rays paint the sky,
You warm the earth below.
Yes! This follows the usual format of an ode, showing praise in a short and simple way!
There once was a cat from the moon,
Who danced and played tunes with a spoon,
He jumped up so high,
And then he did fly,
And landed in a big balloon.
Correct, it has the right amount of syllables!
Gentle autumn breeze,
leaves dance through the golden sky,
whispers of the past.
This follows the 5-7-5 syllable pattern and describes a natural scene, keeping the traditional haiku!
Oh, pen, you write,
But sometimes you run out,
I can't fix that.
This one’s too short, lacks consistent rhythm, and doesn’t have the proper praise!
A cat with a hat on its head,
Slept soundly in a warm bed.
It dreamt of a fish,
And made a quick wish,
Then woke up and quietly fled.
Yes! This follows the classic limerick pattern
Morning light breaks through,
flowers bloom with soft whispers,
birds are flying high.
It sounds like a traditional haiku, but it doesn't quite match the 5-7-5 syllable count—it's actually 5-6-5.
Oh book, your pages turn,
In quiet hands, you burn,
Stories alive within.
It seems like a regular ode, but it’s not correct because the rhythm isn’t clear, and the lines don’t follow the usual pattern of an ode, and doesn't quite show praise.
A frog with a jump so wide,
Leapt far and then tried to hide,
It slipped on a rock,
Then started to walk,
And hopped to the other side.
It looks correct, but it doesn't follow the right syllable pattern (8-7-6-6-8 instead of 8-8-5-5-8), so it's actually wrong!
Gentle winds blow soft,
whispers through the trees at dawn,
peace in the still air.
This one seems almost perfect, but it's still wrong because the syllable count is 5-6-6 instead of 5-7-5.
Stars, you linger high,
In the vast, untouched sky,
Whispers in the dark.
Yes! This follows the usual format of an ode. It shows admiration and praise!
A cat with a coat so bright,
Chased shadows through day and night,
It ran with great speed,
But never did lead,
And vanished out of sight.
It looks right, but the syllable count is wrong (8-7-6-6-8 instead of 8-8-5-5-8)!
Soft rain on the leaves,
quiet whispers fill the dusk,
night embraces all
It follows the 5-7-5 syllable structure, so it is correct!
Breeze, you drift so soft,
Carrying whispers aloft,
Silent, you pass by.
Yes! This poem follows the right format for an ode, with three lines.
A cat with a hat on its head,
Sat softly and lay in its bed,
It dreamed of a fish,
And made a quick wish,
Then curled up and went back to bed.
It follows the right 8-8-5-5-8 syllable pattern, but because it’s so simple, it might be hard to notice that it’s perfect!
