Haiku from Imaike Junior High School
Hello
My name is Yoko Takahashi. I'm an English teacher at Imaike Junior High
School
in Nagoya, Japan. Thank you for letting me in your project. I'm very glad
to have
the chance to exchange haiku poems with a lot of students all over the
world. I
think it's wonderful to exchange things students thought and wrote each
other.
Hello!
We are students in the 9th grade at Imaike Juniro High School. We wrote
haiku
poems in Japanese and English for the first itme. Please enjoy reading
them. They
are very poor and far from perfect. We'll be glad if you let us know your
comments
on these haiku poems.
