I’ll keep this short – why not try a Haiku?
A haiku is a Japanese verse form of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Today’s challenge is to write a haiku abut something around you, something you see or something that you are feeling. Although short it is a tricksy little verse form but here a few very amateur examples that I have put together to hopefully help you out:
Archaeology Haiku:
Confined to a case
Skulls empty eyes stare distant
To freedoms long past.
Nature Haiku:
Petals in laughter,
Open armed they dare to dream.
Dawn awakes singing.
Self-promotion Haiku! (apologies for this one!):
Totally magic-
Al, truly memorable
Tenby Museum.
Why not give it a go? Send your haiku to the museum email for us to all enjoy and we will post some (with your permission of course) on our Facebook page.
