Description:What does this poem mean? What do I DO with it? How do I meet standards using it? When can I possibly fit it in? These are some of the questions educators ask about poetry. The 30 Painless Classroom Poems series makes it easy for you, the elementary school teacher, media specialist, or reading specialist, to use poetry with your students. Whether you already love poetry or you fear or even actively dislike it, the short poems, Notes from the Poet, extension activities written by an experienced classroom teacher, and tips for working poetry into your classroom will have you sharing poems in no time. Terrific for National Poetry Month or everyday use! Why-ku: Poems of Wonder About the World contains 30 haiku in the American style of 5-7-5 syllables by award-winning poet Laura Purdie Salas (author of BookSpeak!, Water Can Be…, and more). Half are "wonder" haikus, each asking a question about the world: Why don't clouds always rain? Why do balloons float away? Why do animals live under the snow? After each wonder haiku is a reply haiku, offering information in a poetic way about the forces and processes of our world. Each haiku is accompanied by a Note from the Poet, in which Laura shares a bit of her writing process or a little more information about the topic being covered. [Note: Five of the 30 haiku deal with the water cycle--the rest are in pairs.] Extension activities by Mary Lee Hahn share ideas for springboarding from these poems into deeper learning across many content areas. Sample pair of haiku: Carnival balloon chases high-flying white clouds: barkless, red, sky dog. Why Don’t We Float Away? Earth asks us to stay, invites us with gravity. We can not say no. A Note from the Poet: [Carnival] Sometimes you just have to let your weird brain take over when you write poems. The image of a balloon as a sky dog came to me first. Bizarre! So I figured a dog in the sky would want to chase something, and what’s up there? Clouds, of course! A Note from the Poet: [Earth] I like the double meaning of that last line: We can not say no. When someone invites us to do something, and we say, “I couldn’t say no,” we usually mean that we would have felt guilty if we said no. So that meaning plays in here, along with the literal meaning that we can not say no to gravity. It’s an undeniable force of nature.
