Create a Guessing Haiku! |
| In celebration of National Poetry Month, join us in creating our very own "Guessing Haiku"!
Write your own haiku about an animal or a moment in nature and be entered into our prize drawings. Let's see if our readers can guess who or what your poem is about! |
|
|
Here is an example by RocÃo, our Teen Librarian:
Cutting through the air, Wings as wide as man is tall
Carry on, skyward
Can you guess the animal? Click here for the answer, and visit the link below for more details.
Also, don't forget that our Open Mic Poetry Night is coming up on Wednesday, April 10th, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.! What better place to share your haiku masterpiece with others?
