30 Day Poetry Challenge Day 4: Haiku
Day 4: Write a haiku (a three line poem where the first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables). Haikus are often about nature, but yours can be about anything. I love Allan Wolf's Haiku Stickies: 100 Haiku to Write & Leave Behind ! Reminds me of my homeroom Haiku Ninjas last year...spreading the joy of haiku around the school! Lightning bolts sizzle. Yank slumbering babes from dreams of cloud-filled blue skies. ---inspired by lightning storm that woke me at 4:30 this morning Cupcakes and ice cream candy, soda, frosted flakes all cause cavities. ---prompt from Haiku Stickies Cold snowflakes shimmer Faces press on windowpane Silent white wonder ---prompt from Haiku Stickies
