Last week, my summer campers and I studied haiku poetry together. It's definitely one of my favorite forms for its simplicity, concise phraseology, and adoration of Nature. We did a Nature walk, chalked out some rough drafts on pavement, and used word association to come up with unique poems. Here are some I crafted using several words the kids came up with. My prompt was Zoo Animals:
Zebra galloping
Ebony and ivory
Blurs across the plains
Monkeys are hyper
Whipping through the air on vines
Chattering loudly
Isolated fox
Roaming the woods, quiet, alone -
Where is his pack?
