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 Sound
Sight
Cherry blossoms fall,
Soft petals kiss the still pond—
Spring’s gentle embrace.
Sound
Whispering pines hum,
A distant owl calls at dusk—
Nature’s lullaby.
Taste
Bitter green tea sips,
Lingering warmth on the tongue—
Zen in every drop.
Touch
Silk kimono glides,
Cool breeze against warm skin—
Sensual delight.
Smell
Sweet plum incense burns,
Fragrant trails in temple air—
Memory’s perfume.
