Autumn Haiku Postcard

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 syllables, in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively.

For each of your 2 partners, you will make a handmade autumn themed haiku postcard and finish it by illustrating your poem with an autumn theme. You may use any technique you want, EXCEPT stickers. Some ideas are: rubberstamping, watercolor, hand-drawn, collage, use a real leaf as a stencil or ink it to make a leaf “stamped” background, etc.). You may send this postcard “naked” or inside an envelope. Please write a note to your partner on each postcard.

Have fun being creative!!

Below is a haiku example. (It shows with bullets because I couldn't figure out how to get 3 separate lines to show.)

• Walking in the woods
• Red, orange, yellow and brown
• Leaves fall around me
