Haiku reviews competition
You’ve all written book reviews. Have you written Haiku – the traditional form of Japanese poetry written in 3 lines; the first line with 5 syllables, the second line with 7 syllables, and the third line with 5 syllables?
Here’s your chance to combine your skills. Try writing a book review in Haiku form.
eg. Mutiny on the Bounty by John Boyne
Fourteen year old John
Caught up in a mutiny
Will he live or die?
Add your haiku to the comments on this post, and I’ll publish the really good ones as posts in their own right. A prize for the best one will be awarded during the last week of term.
(Apologies to the insideadog team from whom I pinched this idea).
