Did you know you can create a beautiful poem in just three lines? That’s the magic of haiku! A haiku is a short Japanese poem that follows a simple pattern: the first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7, and the third has 5.
Haikus are often about nature or a special moment. To write a haiku, look around you. Notice the seasons, the weather, or little things that catch your eye. Then, use clear, simple words to describe what you see or feel.
Third-grade students in Miss Rozwood's class, have been learning about this Japanese form of poetry. The class used their knowledge of figurative language to develop their own haiku.
Try writing your own haiku and share it with your friends and family. It’s a fun and creative way to express yourself!
