Guyku: A Year of Haiku for Boys
3. We experience nature
with our senses. See, smell, hear, taste, touch,
I free grasshopper
from his tight, ten-fingered cage-
he tickles too much!
Personification: to talk about something
as if it were a person.
1. The form of a haiku is very simple.
- three lines
- five syllables in the first line
- seven syllables in the second line
- five syllables in the thrid line
2. Haiku poems are observations of nature.
Each one is about a specific season, and includes at least one season word. This can be the name of the season, like "winter".
Winter must be here
Everytime I open my
mouth, a cloud comes out.
