“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 and are often about things found in nature. This month’s challenge includes an Haiku poem and a paper plate about spring. Over the next week, use your senses for signs of spring. You might see a flower budding, hear a frog croaking or smell cut grass. Select a topic and write a Haiku. To learn more about Haiku poems, watch the video below.
Once your poem is ready, you need to find a creative way to display your poem on a paper plate. F
eel free to cut, paint, decorate your plate so it represents your poem. Don’t forget to:
- Type or write your poem on the plate.
- Use creativity to design your plate.
- Submit your entry by April 25th.
- Include your name, your teacher’s name and grade.
- Think Spring!
