this whimsical wednesday we will write a poem in the form of HAIKU to celebrate spring!
haiku originated in japan and it's form is a bit different from the english form. this is due to the differences in the languages.
haiku is typically about nature.
haiku doesn't rhyme. instead it follows a pattern.
haiku pattern:
*line one: five syllables
*line two: seven syllables
*line three: five syllables
haiku writing tips:
*write several words you like that describes nature/spring.
*select the words for the poem you most wish to use.
*count the syllables to ensure they will "fit" each line.
*write the haiku poem.
*one step further? draw a picture to accompany the haiku poem.
(information about haiku poetry can be found on-line. i did a search using the keywords "how to write a haiku poem". the above information is from a few of these on-line sources.)
