Following along in your Learning Guide to complete Poetry Writing Task 5. Create your own haikus by following these steps:

Choose a topic. Haikus are usually written about nature. Do you have a favourite place in nature?

Sources of inspiration:

- pictures

- a favourite animal in its home

- the weather in a certain season (or in a storm)

You can choose a topic that isn’t about nature or the seasons, as well.

Now, try to capture this picture in three lines with correct syllable counts. Remember,

LINE ONE: 5 syllables

LINE TWO: 7 syllables

LINE THREE: 5 syllables 

It make take more than one try to get your lines correct. That is normal! This is a first draft and it is OK to have words crossed out or even full lines crossed out. It is normal to need more than "one try" to get the syllables just right.

Give your haiku a title.
