Haiku Challenge
It's Haiku Challenge number three! So far, two first-time visitors have walked away with hearts full-o-warm fuzzies. (I sent warm fuzzies to the rest of you as well, just so you know.) Below is the photo for round three.
Here's what you do:
Using only the photo above for inspiration, write a Haiku in the comments of this post by Wednesday, November 1 at 5:00 pm Eastern.
What's in it for you?
Well, warm fuzzies of course! Good luck!
If you're new to Haiku read on...
Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in only 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry!
