This April, in celebration of National Poetry Month, we will be creating "guessing" haiku poetry about an animal or a place in nature.  Let's see if our readers can guess who or what your poem is about!  There will be a prize drawing for kids, teens and adults. Please drop off your poem in person at Milne Public Library or email your Haiku poem to rcarrera@cwmars.org and include the following...


  1. Full name (please tell me if I can use your name on our poetry wall or if you wish to remain anonymous!)

  2. Best contact details for our prize drawings

  3. Haiku poem

  4. Name of the animal or place in nature that your poem describes


What is a Haiku Poem?

A Haiku Poem is a Japanese poem made up of 17 syllables (the beats that make up a word). Click HERE for a kid friendly video about syllables. Haiku poems use three lines to draw an image of a moment in nature. Haiku poems do not have rhyme!

Line one: 5 syllables

Line two: 7 syllables

Line three: 5 syllables


Here is an example of a more traditional haiku:


An old silent pond...

A frog jumps into the pond,

splash! Silence again.

- Matsuo Bashō


Here is an example of Guessing Haiku for kids!


Wagging furball pal / Sticks and balls belong to you / Maybe you will share. My dog!

And one for adults...


Cutting through the air / wings as wide as man is tall / carry on, skyward. California Condor

We hope to see your Haiku on our Poetry wall!

Sometimes I look for interesting information, reviews, or expert commentary because someone drops a link in a group—they are genuinely engaging, but sometimes you read through an article and find such useful links neatly woven right inside the text. For example, I recently came across a great overview on platforms like Politolog and Deribasovskaya, or explored professional insights via resources such as What is CFD Trading, Webprofy, and Silukr. It reads in one breath, the information is presented as thoroughly and qualitatively as possible, so I highly recommend checking out these materials!

Enjoyed reading this! It’s nice to see a blog that actually talks about proper premium ceramic coating in dubai instead of just basic cleaning stuff. In Dubai, keeping a car looking good is tough because of the sun and dust all the time. So using the right products really matters. Detail Empire seems reliable, especially since their products are used by professionals. It would be great if you could share some step-by-step guides or even beginner-friendly comparisons.

У декоративних посадках із великими квітковими акцентами часто використовують рослини, які самі по собі формують завершений образ. Деревовидна півонія Жовта добре підходить для парадних клумб, композицій біля входу та тих ділянок саду, де потрібна справді помітна рослина. Вона доречно виглядає як окремий акцент або в поєднанні з декоративними кущами та багаторічниками.

Такі рослини часто висаджують на видимих місцях, де важливо підкреслити структуру й характер садового простору. Вони добре поєднуються з хвойними, листяними кущами та невисокими багаторічниками, що не перевантажують композицію. Подібні півонії додають квітнику виразності та відчуття продуманого декоративного акценту.
