HAYNAKU-
I found this cool poem format on Miss Rumphius and challenged my students to write one for their Reading Response this week. All haynakus published are written by students and about their books. See Comments.

Unconditionally
Wanting you,
Impossible to stay-away
Keeping
One secret,
I love you.
Fear,
Needs-to be
In control of me.
Life-Threatening
Blood-drinking, pushes
Me into traps.
I
Cant think
the way needed.
Your
Smell makes
My mind cloudy.
I
Know as
Well as you,
The
Possible problems
That might accrue.
But
I'm willing.
Even If your-not.
Nothing
Can hurt
Me as long
As
I remain
In your arms.
The above poem is by Kylah.
Forty
Years ago
I married you.
We
Met at
The local diner
On
Our first
Date I knew,
You
Were my
One and only.
I
Have not
Always been home,
And
My presence
Has been absent
Even
When you
Need me most
Now
It is
Our time again,
You
Said you
Don't regret me.
So
Jane will
you marry me?

How
could you
leave me here?
Here,
in this
place of torture.
You
abandoned me.
Left, without a
trace.
I loved
you, but you
still
left me.
You never even
said
goodbye. Then
you found me.
How
did you
find me here?
Here,
in this
new place, filled
with
people who
love me, who
wouldn't
leave me
like you did.
I'm
sorry, but
the old me,
the
old Jennifer,
is not here.

He shoots,
He then scores
Danny,
Is what
He is named.
Even
though, he
is short he
Still,
Has a
Passion of Playing
Basketball.
Because as
His dad told
Him,
"You are
As big as
You
Think you
Are," so he
Resorts
To passing.
One of his
Friends,
Ty is
Really good at
Basketball.
And when
They play together,
They
Are REALLY
Good at teamwork.
So,
They play
When it's possible.

I,
Scarlett O'Hara,
Am still alive.
War,
Although disappointing,
Is now over.
With
New laws,
Things are changed.
Confederates,
Can't Vote,
African-Americans can.
This,
Is not
Fair at all.
Fighting
For the
Plantation with taxes.
Young,
But still,
Fighting for everyone.
Yes,
Its strange,
How things change.
Why,
Can't it,
Be the same?
Wishing,
Things could
Be better again.
So
That I,
Am not alone.
Although
Very unfair,
Forced to support,
Baby,
Two girls,
And two men.

Everything
was all
good and fun.
untill,
she came
to visit us.
Coming
with such
surprise and beauty,
I
adored her
forever and ever.
Then,
she offered
to take me,
to
live and
help her travel.
Again,
everything was
good and fun.
Meanwhile,
she became
the head Gobbler.
Pan
helped me
run from her.
Now,
she is
a feared memory.

The Lovely Bones
(by Alice Sebold)
I
died on
December 6th, 1973
But
My murderer
Still lives on.
My
father has
all the clues
Pieces
Of a
Mysteriously jumbled puzzle
That
he cannot
quite fit together.
Here,
in heaven
i watch everything
Lindsey,
growing up
boyfriend and all
Buckley,
clueless Buckley,
not knowing anything
Heaven
is supposed
to be perfect
But
mine is
absolutely everything but.
Bone,
my brother,
where is he?
Searching,
I look
everywhere for him.
Humans
took him
to someplace unknown
Meanwhile,
I must
keep on going
Running,
to wherever
I wander to.
Eating,
anything,everything
that I can.
Surviving,
cold winters
hiding behind dumpsters.
Living
the life
of a stray.
Wondering
what will
tommorrow bring me.
by Alex Lund
the
goddesses minions
will destroy everything
If
we don't
kill her first
she'll
drink blood
from the people
not
everyone's blood,
people of greece
Mam
will help
and devise strategies
To
get into
the evil labyrinth
she
didn't tell
of "her" plan
To
sacrifice herself
to save us
I
can't believe
I didn't know
still...
I will
miss her so...
She's
the hero
of the story
and...
we all
know she is...
By Grace Pernecky......
I
Can feel
Something is wrong.
I
Go To
The top-most tower.
He
And I
Find a letter.
It
Explains my
Past and future.
I
Must get
Out of here.
Traveling
To the
Rusty-Ruins is tricky.
I
Do not
Quite make it.
Trapped
In this
Reservation is maddening.
Beloved;
Please stop
Making me worry.

Edward,
I feel
so incredibly alone
What
happened to
our true love?
I
can't make
myself forget you
I
can't let
myself remember you
I
thought we'd
be together forever
I
love you,
and it hurts
This
pain is
like no other
Jacob,
you are
my best friend
My
love for
you is sisterly
Why
can you
not understand that?
Do
not taint
our beautiful friendship
Seeing
the love
in your eyes
Guilt
wells up
in my throat
This
pain is
like no other
I'm

Angels and Demons
By Dan Brown
During
The Conclave,
In Vatican City,
Kidnap
The Perferiti,
And brand them.
First,
At eight,
Kill with Earth.
Second,
At nine,
Kill with Air.
Third,
At ten,
Kill with Fire.
Fourth,
At eleven,
Kill with Water.
Lastly,
At midnight,
Consumed by light,
Destroy
The City
With the anti-matter.
The
Illuminati is
Back for revenge.
