Sky-ku Haikus


Join Team GCM member, Maggie, today to write poetry about the sky on International Haiku Day! Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that only has three lines. Each line of poetry has a set number of syllables. The first and third lines have five syllables and the second line has seven. Here is a haiku to help you remember:

I am first with five
Then seven in the middle
Five again to end.

Most haikus are about nature, and today we are celebrating the sky with our partner Sky Day Project, an amazing organization that brings people from around the world together to celebrate the sky.

Share your poetry with ##SkyDaySkyku and #GCMatHome
