Leaving Haiku

I just love posting work from my students. I like posting good things people say about me even better (yay for shameless self-promotion!). And, one can never miss with haiku. So, posting haiku (which I taught my students how to write last week) about me written by my lovey students was just about a no-brainer! So here it goes:

Jeff with a mild smile
Gets along with us as friends
Sad to say farewell

Years ago you came
Now you're leaving for your home
We wish you good luck

Jeff Knezovich
Who loves his dog very much
Is full of knowledge

American boy
Conscientious, kind-hearted
Popular teacher

Quietly you came
Englightening as winter sun
Quietly you go

Jeff Knezovich
Tall, handsome, even-tempered
Always kind to us

Silently you come
Just like you will leave
Miss you forever

Our English teacher
Two years in China will leave
Please come back again

Jeff, a sexy guy
Always attracts beauties' eye
Bachelors' rival

Jeff Knezovich
Will live with us forever
A patient teacher

Jeff, we will miss you
Although you are in England
Best wishes to you

Sweet smile, witty words
Make difficulties easy
Pity--Jeff leaves us

A humorous guy
Jeff likes playing jokes with us
Is making face now

Tall, strong, handsome Jeff
Talks like a running river
Humourous and kind

Jeff moans in the room
Looks out through the window pane
Say nothing but cry

The man with big smile
Is our benign, clever Jeff
Best wishes to you

Humorous man Jeff
With imaginative head
What a good teacher!

Your bright shinning [sic] smile
Give me the sunshin [sic] of life
Oh, the kindly Jeff!

Beloved Jeff has gone
His image is in our hearts
Miss him forever

And a cinquain to finish it off:

Jeff
Benign, beloved
Came, taught, went
As dedicated as a candle
Knezovich
