Creative Writing #3- Haiku

 A Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that has 5, 7, 5 syllables in 3 lines. The lines of  a Haiku rarely rhyme to the last line.

This is writing task No. 3.  We have to create 4 Haiku's based of the 4 seasons. They could be the same season for all of them, or you could make one for each season. I have decided to do one for each season.

Hot sand burning feet

Ice Creams melting everywhere

Children splashing about

Rainy days are ahead

Flowers, animals worldwide

New life all around 

Orange, Brown, Gold, Yellow

Leaves are falling and trees are bare

Scarfs and hats are needed

Mittens and woolly hats 

Frozen ponds good for ice skating

Snowmen and snowballs 

I used to think that haiku's were easy and that "all you have to do is put words in lines" but it's hard when you want to say something but then you can't because it doesn't fit in the format that you have to work with. Even though I found it a bit hard, they were still fun to create and play around with. If I keep trying with them, I might improve.  I'm glad that Miss Johnson gave us a variety of activities that we could do.
