Haiku for You

There are many forms of poetry. Haiku has been enjoying a comeback in popularity over the past few decades and is very simple to write. Read the definition of Haiku and the section on how to write it, along with several examples. When you are finished write 4 Haiku poems to be turned in. One should be on classical subjects (several are named); the other 3 are your choice. http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/#whatishaiku

When you are finished with the poetry, please answer these questions in your journals to be collected:

1. Do you find Haiku appealing? Why or why not?

2. What did you find to be the most difficult part of Haiku?

3. Would you rather read poetry or prose?
