Wooow
So cute I love this piece^___^
You go girl, cant wait for more poems of yours.

Great job:)

I agree with wild flower..
nice piece

What a clever little haiku!

What's nice about this type of poem is that it teaches you how to represent an entire scene in one snapshot, kind of like a painting or a picture that you took with your camera.

Short poems like this are a really good way to exercise your writing skills.

Keep it up!

Just lovely Abby.

I think it's a perfect haiku. First, the rhyming between lake and snake produces this kind of music, which I'd like to relate to the sound of snakes, or the sound of their crawling between dry Autumn leaves.

Second, the rhyming alliteration between slithery and slippery is very smart! It also added emphasis to the situation when we feel like the thing infront of us is a snake, so we would be all fearful and cautious... then we discover that it's not really a snake.

The turn in the end is what made the poem original.

GREAT JOB.

Oooh interesting haiku!

I'm terrified of snakes so I hope it is a stick! I think this was a fun, playful haiku. Way to go for writing this form! Even though it's short it still isn't easy to write a good haiku, and you have here!.

I like that the ending was funny! It made me laugh :)

Great job Abbie!

This is indeed one clever haiku.. I like the imagery creation in just 3 lines and also that often when the snake lies still, we misinterpret it to be a stick and you have portrayed it well.. And the alliteration as LP mentioned adds a poetic touch... Excellent piece little girl..:)

Abbie
I loved this nature poem and am especially fond of haiku poetry. This was a very good one :) sometimes sticks CAN look like snakes!! Great job

I smiled to myself. Well done.

A good Haiky always has an element of surprise in the last sentence, and yours had! Real clever wording, Abbie:)

Well done,

5/5 Ingrid
