A kigo is a word that hints at a particular season without actually naming the season. • Is your haiku about nature? An animal? • Does your haiku capture a moment in time? • Is the tone of the haiku happy or sad?

Assignment • By now you have successfully written 2 traditional haikus about nature/season/animals, using the 5-7-5 syllable pattern • For homework you get to bend the rules a bit to write 3 more haikus. These haikus may capture any moment, idea, thought, or topic. • Each haiku must still consist of 3, short, unrhymed lines BUT the syllables do not have to follow the 5-7-5 pattern.
