...something then just dont ans? Select a topic. Remember, a Haiku is about nature. Here is a list of possible ideas to get you started:
rain
sunshine
the four seasons (winter, summer, spring, fall)
flowers (a specific flower can be used)
insects (a specific insect can be used)
birds or other animals that can be found in nature -- not a pet
Brainstorm the ideas for that topic. Write down everything you know about the topic or everything the topic makes you feel.
Look for actions, verbs, and adjectives on your brainstorm list.
Write the first line of the poem -- count the syllables to make sure you have only 5.
Write the second line using only 7 syllables.
Write the third line, again, using only 5 syllables.
Read through the poem. If you are happy with it, try this again with a different topic from nature than you just used.
Look back over both poems and check your spelling.
