Haiku

My Haiku

Going on a Walk

This is my first time

Wind blowing through my whiskers

I love the fresh air

A Gloomy Day

Clouds hugging mountains

Trees swaying in the cool breeze

Sun, please come back out!

Photoku

Both of the haikus written above are photoku. A photoku is a haiku based on a photo. I find having the photo makes it even more enjoyable to write a haiku and it allows me to dig deeper into the senses that could be felt through these photos. Both of the photos were taken by me. The first is my sweet girl, Aggie and the second is the view from my apartment here in Boone, NC.

Additional Resource

Nat Geo Wild is a great resource to use. There are so many videos about animals in the wild, vets that help the animals, animals in recovery, and animals that are pets. Having these videos can help support the writing of haikus and can be used in the classroom.
