Let's write a haiku
1. Go on a walk and write everything you see.
2. When you come home, draw three lines on a piece of paper: a short line, a longer line, and another short line.
3. On the first line, write "I saw".
(1) I saw ___________________________
(2) __________________________________________________
(3) ___________________________
4. On the next two lines, write down one thing you saw on your walk.
5. Now, erase the first line and replace it with another image. (Try to use the techniques of comparison, contrast, or association, so your two images create a aha! moment.) If you're stuck, simply write where and when the poem is taking place. Example: "afternoon walk"
6. Your haiku is done!
