Chloe’s Poetry Homework

Chloe’s poems are a little different and shorter than usual because:
(1) she wrote them for her homework
(2) they had to be based on New Jersey
(3) one had to be a Tanka poem (5-7-5-7-7 syllable format)
(4) one had to be a Haiku poem (5-7-5 syllable format)

Tanka
Greens, oranges, reds
Leaves floating down from their trees
Piles form on the ground
It slowly starts to get cold
Now there are rocks, snow and ice

Haiku (about hot air balloons)
High up in the air
Silently floating bliss
Wind blows in my face
