A day for haiku

We button up coats

Wrap mufflers 'round and 'round

Insisting it's spring

 

A cold snap here in New York has me doubting the date on the calendar, but still it says April 17...and still it says it's National Haiku Day.

I love haiku -- simple, sparse, effective. Jon J Muth's Hi, Koo is filled with haiku for all four seasons, so it's pretty perfect for a day like today, when you don't quite know what to make of the weather.

Want to make one of your own? I love these five tips from Instructor Magazine on how to learn haiku. Why not create on and leave it in the comments below?
