Write your own Haiku about your trip to Maine.
According to editor-in-chief Paul Doiron, "You can find a little poetry in even the most harried family vacations." Check out the full article in the July 2008 issue here. Two examples:
Car full of children.
Packed and ready to motor.
What?! You need to pee?
First stop, L.L. Bean.
Everyone has the same plan.
We park miles away.
Here's your chance to be a poet - for three lines. Remember that a haiku is an unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin. It usually consists of three lines usually 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. Haiku often have seasonal references.
