    Default A New Game From SR

    SG, posted a new game called No Trick Just Treats! It's listed right under "Win a Cruise". I have no idea as to what a Halloween Haiku is. Do you?

    It is a poetry form...

    Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry!

    Example:

    The Rose
    Donna Brock

    The red blossom bends

    and drips its dew to the ground.

    Like a tear it falls


    HTH!!! Now the trick is to put it in a Halloween theme. I'm horrible at writing, but am going to give it a whirl.
