Many students have been written wonderful haiku about the following pictures that Anna showed them at haiku workshop. Could you figure out what scenery have inspired them?

pink trees stand out
in the Japanese scenery
as a beautiful heart
Teddy Grade 4B
sunrising
frogs jump
into the trees’ reflection
Olivia Grade 4B
under cherry blossoms
a little pond shows itself
green grass rustles
Roger Grade 4B
huge ears
green body
knock, knock, who is there?
Jimmy Turnbull Grade 4B
little flowers on the river
big white marshmallow in the sky
is there a Genie?
Andrew Grade 4B
a huge rabbit statue
what tale does it tell
in the enormous city?
In the sunset
A lighthouse stands
Among the trees on the bridge
Flora Grade 4B
among fallen leaves
fish swim–
what a beautiful lake
