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.

Sight, Smell, Sound, Touch, Taste

**Sight:**

**Lanterns aglow, bright**

**Fireworks paint the night sky**

**Colors dance and fade**

****

**Smell:**

**Smoky barbecue**

**Wafts through air thick with spices**

**Tempting aromas**

****

**Sound:**

**Laughter and music**

**Mingle with distant thunder**

**Summer's symphony**

****

**Touch:**

**Grass tickles bare feet**

**Breeze caresses heated skin**

**Cool droplets of rain**

****

**Taste:**

**Sweet cotton candy**

**Melts on tongue, sticky fingers**

**Summer's fleeting treat**

****
