They say, but I never listened,
Because I've made it

More than the boys on my team,
Just to be noticed]]> 2019-05-17 16:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/361238877 tasirigiri https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/361240127 Sure, they are stronger,

So we had to make our own,
And win without help]]> 2019-05-17 16:15:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/361242868 tasirigiri https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/361250381 "You'll get hurt" they say
Why should that even matter?
I do what they do]]> 2019-05-17 16:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/361250381 tasirigiri https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/361252528 They see me as small
I think they have simple minds
Small's as good as big]]> 2019-05-17 16:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/361252528 tasirigiri https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/361253323 I work just as hard,
As hard as everyone else,
But I'm on the side

It hasn't been done before

The first and third have 5 syllables, and the second has seven. They've been around since around 700 BC. The haiku we know today was first called a hokku, the first part of a renku poem, which originally was in a 5-7-5 form followed by two 7 syllable lines. The poet Basho took the hokku and made it into its own independent poem sometime in the 17th century, which evolved into what we now know as a haiku.]]> 2019-05-21 16:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/362223198 tasirigiri https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/362226108 As stated up above, a haiku follows the strict guidelines of 5-7-5, which means the first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7, and the third also has five. Writing haikus is a challenge because there aren't many ways to bend rules, so finding a word that explains the concept can be hard. That is also what makes haikus so interesting, since a complex concept or idea can be turned into a short poem.]]> 2019-05-21 16:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tasirigiri/x5v1tu1x3alu/wish/362226108
