POEM STARTER
Write a series of five Haiku set at the same event, exploring the five senses: sight, smell, sound, touch, taste.
A Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of three lines that generally do not rhyme, with a syllabic structure of 5-7-5.
The Neighbor’s Garden
Little white flowers
Pop up in little neat rows
Soil glistens with dew
Aroma tickles
The senses, flower meets garlic
And mint, clove, basil
Every so often
Small bodies whizz past the ears
Black, yellow, buzzing
Raspberries from bush
Explode, tart, juicy and sweet
There’s no better bite
Plants are delicate
For the human touch, so we
Must tread carefully
