Urban Haiku
Playing a game, /
City's grand soul now revealed, /
Words work their magic.
Observe the city around you and write a Haiku poem for the neighbourhood. If you’re not sure how to write one, the rules for a Haiku poem are:
• It should be 3 lines long, with a pattern of 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second line, and 5 in the third line. The exact syllable count can vary slightly.
• Use present tense.
• Take inspiration from the natural world around you. Haikus often incorporate imagery that references the different seasons of the year.
• Describe what is causing your feeling, but not the feeling itself.
• The last line often contains a little twist.
