Haiku

(This posting was written three months in to my blogging adventure. I’ve definitely seen growth in my writing since then.)

One of the things I like to do is write haikus. They are easy and fun. Just three lines long. Five syllables, seven syllables and five more. I remember a former gifted second grade student who could comprise haikus in her head. I'm not that good. But I do enjoy writing them about animals and nature. Here are a few I have written.

      

           Elephants can plod

          Slowly through the savannah

            Each one majestic

             

Pretty butterflies

            Fragile wings that gently soar

             Colors in the sky

Creativity Suggestion

Haiku

Choose a subject in nature, and challenge yourself to compose a Haiku.  They really are easy to do.  Collect your Haikus in a pretty journal.
