haiku floats
May 16 to 18 is Haiku Canada Weekend. Let's make the first week of the parade haiku week.
A simple explanation of haiku is that it is a 3 line poem of 17 syllables. The first line is 5 syllables, the second line is 7 syllables and the third line is 5 syllables. The first 2 lines set the scene and the third line makes a comment - sort of.
literacy work--
from chaos and disorder
wisdom sparkles fly
Of course, there is much more to haiku.

If Haiku is not your style, why not try a 6-word story Hemingway style? Can you write your literacy memoir in 6 words? Comment below or create your own post.

Oh that just says it all, love that. Brilliant.
So I am now envisioning each of those sentences as the head of 3 separate columns with a whole myriad of words, stories, images beneath each one - would be a great springboard for a group to compose & stick post-its underneath - think I'll use that somewhere sometime. thanks oodles!
Here's one:
Scattered words on white
I crave to know your meaning
Speak to me out loud.
small words make meaning
some big words expand my mind
and peace words make peace
