Katakana Project: Literary Works

For my Katakana Literary Project, I decided to compose 3 haikus. Haikus follow the syllabic pattern of 5/7/5.


あのひとは
ハンサムですね
おもしろい

ハンサム- handsome
I decided to feature ハンサム as the key Katakana because it is a loan word from the English word "handsome".
------------------------

バラバラー
わるいてんきの
ふううです

バラバラー- sound of rain beating down
I decided to feature バラバラー as the key Katakana word because it is a sound word which describes the sound that heavy rain makes.
**ふうう- windy rainstorm
------------------------

ちさいいぬ
とてもうるさい
ワンワンー

ワンワンー- sound that a barking dog makes

  2. さいご の はいく は わたし の いちばん すき です〜 It's just so true! The smallest dogs always make the most noise. I really liked the second as well, because it captured the moment of a rainy day. The first one was the most amusing, because of the ending line.

    Awesome~!

  4. Your second haiku is my favorite because you used an onomatopoeia (バラバラ). It sounds very poetic!

  5. Your second haiku is also my favorite. This haiku reminds me of some Chinese poem. Great work~!!
