Start your poem by choosing a topic. Let your kids make a choice with something they love for the topic of their poem.

Let them choose their own topics and express their ideas in a haiku.

Make sure they count syllables so it is following the pattern.

Try to make an observation in the last line.

Here is an example of a Haiku Poem:

I have yellow stripes.
I fly to all the flowers.
I’m making honey.

Try it with your child! Be creative!

Today, April 17 is National Haiku Poetry Day. Haiku poetry is a form of Japanese poetry that is non-rhyming and usually consists of 3 lines.  The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables.

Here’s a Haiku to help you remember:

I am first with five
Then seven in the middle —
Five again to end.

They are usually about seasons or nature, but you can write your own haiku about anything you like! The last line of a haiku usually makes an observation about the subject of the poem.
