2020 Venture Vermont: Write Haiku or other nature poetry based on things you observe in nature around you

 a couple weeks ago i was doing a thing with some kids and one of our activities was to write a haiku, but we rolled a die to determine some of the required elements. we did this twice, so here are my haikus.


I)  theme: flowers

    character: snake

    required word: green


everywhere are blooms

green grass, riot of flowers

follow the snake.


II) theme: wind

    character: horse

    required word: green


as if galloping

he blows the grasses over

green and flexible


and then because i had a few minutes left, i wrote a double dactyl on the same foundation:


hurchison murchison, galloping overland

blowing green grass on an incoming breeze

pounding and sounding the

incontrovertible

signs that there's pollen to make you to sneeze
