As the school year begins, the practice of writing haiku through the seasons can be a wonderful way to record the changes.
Here are a few haikus written by our Four Winds Naturalist Educators:
Hazy August dawn
Zig zag zip chase hover sip
Hummingbird rhythm
Single black cricket
Loves singing, dancing, night life
Seeks music lover
Droplets collecting
Worldly travelers unite
Kerplop! Where to next?
Sandwiched between leaves
Snuggly munching round and round
Then it’s time to fall
April sun is bright
Moon shadow dims midday sky
Light again. Eclipse.
Phenomena awe
All day collaborating
Hooray for today
Lion of the Sky: Haiku for all Seasons is also a resource for inspiration!
