Thank you, Danna Smith, for sharing all about haiku last week in a very special blog post. You can read it here. Danna has offered a giveaway of 2 (TWO!) of her Poetry Pop Journals! Wow!

But first. I had to play. I used the template Danna shared and penned a haiku comic. Sadly, you have to use your imagination to understand the drawings, and it was much harder to print small words than it looks! This is Monet, our cat. She loves the garden and watching moving things. I assure you, she is much prettier in real life.

In case you can’t read the print, here is my haiku comic:

Now that was fun! We would LOVE to read your haiku! Post one in the comments or tag us with #haikumoment so we can find you!

Drum roll, please.

The winner (with assistant Monet) of the Poetry Pop journals is:

It got a little dicey after this, because then Monet wanted to play a paper game.

Alyson, come on down! You are the winner of 2 Poetry Pop journals!

Thanks, everyone, for reading and participating in the fun. And thank you, Danna, for the word play fun and inspiration!

Now, let’s all go HAIKU!
