International Haiku Poetry Day on April 17th is a day to celebrate haiku, a special kind of short poem from Japan. Haikus have just three lines with a pattern of 5-7-5 syllables. People all around the world write and share their own haikus about nature, emotions, or personal thoughts. This day helps us appreciate different cultures and how they express feelings and ideas through poetry. It is a fun and creative way to learn about language and the beauty of simple words. Students, teachers, poets, and anyone who loves writing can join in and enjoy the magic of haikus.
How to celebrate International Haiku Poetry Day?
Start by writing your own haiku about something you love, like nature, animals, or even pizza! Read your haiku aloud to your family or friends and ask them to share how it makes them feel. Invite everyone to join in the fun by writing their own haikus. Create a small book or poster with your collective poems. You can also decorate your space with drawings inspired by your haikus. Spend some time outside, observe the beauty around you, and try to express those moments in new haikus. Share your favorite haikus or drawings on social media to inspire others.
