Haiku
Haiku
Today the group worked on poems using haiku which is a type of a short poem that originated from Japan. There are seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world. We talked about what we could see and smell in our houses and through the window.
Meadowhall lit up
Pots on the window sill
Clouds and cars outside window
Distant cars and trucks
Motorway driving
With Kepple’s column in view
Trees blowing in wind
Shadowing back of houses
flaming autumn leaves
Pet birds twittering
