Haiku

Hi Parents,

"Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines.The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.

Here's a Haiku to help you remember:
I am first with five
Then seven in the middle --
Five again to end.
Here are some examples of a Haiku,






Butterflies are Cute
by : Charley, 2nd Grade. (USA)

Butterflies are cute
Fluttering their scaly wings
Very very fast



 
Thanks for reading! :)

p/s: The theme for the Haiku Writing Assignment is 'Festivals.'
