1. Sit together with comment groups.
How's the blogging and publishing coming?
2. What is happiness to you?
What ideas do you have in common? Discuss and share ideas with the whole class.
3. If you are worried about finishing three pieces, I encourage you to create a "haiku" as one of your published pieces.
Homework: Everyone, write ONE or more haiku by Wednesday and post it as a comment on this article. Check out the examples on Asahi.com for inspiration. Simple is OK!
4. Other genres? Let's look at our genre list again together.
5. Writing time - Keep sending me links to your publish-able articles!
See you on Wednesday
This is a course of free personal expression and creative writing at International Christian University in Tokyo. Each member of the class is an "author" with freedom to choose any theme, genre, format, and length they feel will be meaningful for them. The goal is to develop life-long writers who use English not only as a tool for professions, but as a way for self-expression that can connect and communicate with readers all over the world. Please enjoy and leave comments!

Only loneliness left
Under strong sunshine
ReplyDeleteMoment of silence
Shooting in yellow and walking many times
Comment to my Haiku
Yesterday, I had a competition of archery, so I made a haiku about the competition's atmosphere. Yellow means the center of a target: 9 point and 10 point. When I play archery, I become very tired because I must walk many times to go to the target to take the arrows I shot.
Only a moment

in a fictional superiority
In dark night
ReplyDeleteShining full moon with cloud
Lightning without sound

ReplyDeleteLooking down, depressed
ReplyDeleteFallen leaves dressed
Me refreshed
A newborn baby with cute small hands
ReplyDeleteClose her eyes and hold my finger tight
Life force was cocveyed and she smiles
Moon shines night
ReplyDeleteShe knows everywhere
So you can go where you like
Dear white moon
ReplyDeleteRuler of the dark night
making it bright
Knock knock knock
ReplyDeleteSomeone is in front of the door
The door of my mind
Came across a cat
ReplyDeleteIts eyes were bright
I felt we'd met before
get home at 3:15

ReplyDeletethat sweet smell
tells time
just flies by
your skin smoother than the full moon
ReplyDeleteyour smell scentful than the orange osmanthus
your syrup sweeter than the Oriental persimmon
among all the special things of the autumn,
oh apple, you are the supreme !
