April is National Poetry Month! I thought I'd try to write some haiku. What is haiku? It is a 3-lined poem that does not rhyme, based on a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Often, there is a pattern defined by the number of syllables in each line. The first & last lines have 5 syllables. The middle line has 7. Remember: 5-7-5.
Here is the haiku I wrote this morning, inspired by my garden at home:
tiny shoots push up
warmed by the dappled sunlight
hopeful signs of spring
You can try writing your own at home.
