Wildlife Group Haiku

 

 

Haiku Poetry Competition


The Wildlife Group is running a Haiku poetry competition which anyone can enter. Originally from Japan, haiku are now written all over the world. Here is an example

 

JANUARY

Delightful display
Snowdrops bow their pure white heads
To the sun’s glory.

 

Typically a haiku has three lines with 5 syllables in the first and third and 7 syllables in the second. They were often written about nature and wildlife so what better than for you to compose a haiku (or two) inspired by any of village wildlife sites such as the Upper Orchid Field or the Orchards.

Send your entries to bruce7@btinternet.com or use the contact section on the website, http:// wenvoewildlifegroup.weebly.com/ or Facebook using the Wenvoe Wildlife Group page. You have until the end of March and there will be a small prize for the winner as judged by group members. Send in your haiku and say which site inspired you – give your contact details and age if you are under 16. Some of the entries will be shown on Facebook and the noticeboards on the sites. Good luck!!
