NPM Day 24: Something Poetic - Haiku

After checking this book out of the library over and over, I finally broke down in 2017 and purchased my own copy. I love the seven keys for writing haiku provided in this book and used them with my students when I was teaching. After introducing the seven keys, the book  encourages readers to participate in several projects: your first haiku, your favorite season haiku, your haibun (story with haiku), your haiga (drawing and haiku), and your renga (linked poetry). These projects are broken down with step-by-step guidance. The book closes with specific haiku activities, a glossary of haiku-related words, a haiku resource guide, and an extensive bibliography. This is the book to purchase if you find yourself or a child in your life loving the world three lines at a time!
