Haikus are traditional Japanese short poems that follow a strict syllable structure of 5-7-5 and are usually about nature. For this week’s Wordy Wednesday activity, School Age Education Coordinator Braidie challenges everyone at home to write a Haiku about summer.
Picture what a perfect summer day looks and feels like for you. Think about what you might see, feel, hear etc. Here’s an example:
Warm sun on my face
My toes dipped in the water
Green all around me
