Hiking Haiku
Head outdoors and take a walk around your neighborhood or through a park. Bring along a field notebook and pencils, and after you've walked a while, find a place to sit and write a haiku about the place where you are, a plant or animal that caught your attention, or any other aspect of the outdoors that interests you. A haiku is a three-line poem. The lines don't need to rhyme, but they follow a pattern of five syllables, seven syllables, and five syllables.
