Weekend Assignment #66 -- July 4 Haiku From By the Way... We're right up on the July 4th Weekend (Monday off! Whoo-hoo!), and rather than give you something too complex and involved, I figure you'll want to be off waving sparklers and blowing up fireworks and otherwise celebrating the freedoms you enjoy as Americans. So here's a simple Weekend Assignment:
Weekend Assignment #66: July 4 Haiku! A 17-syllable holiday poem, please!
What is haiku?
Poems with this syllable count:
Five, seven, then five.
And for these haiku
Imagine holiday fun
Then share it, briefly.
Or simply tell us
What our nation's holiday
Represents for you.
(Non-USA folks:
Write a haiku all about
Your home country, too!)
Extra credit: Patriotic pictures!
I found this to be fiitting since I just changed my journal to celebrate the holiday!! So, hopefully I did this right and made an okay Haiku! If you play along, make sure you leave your link over at By the Way... and here!! Here is my Haiku:
American Day
The Red White and Blue Parades
I Love July 4th
And as for the extra credit... Just check out this (I know its on the side bar, but oh well!!)...

For your first Haiku you did wonderful. I gave it a try for the first time. I'm looking forward to the parade here and listening to all the marching bands. Beautiful photo of the children.
Here's my shot at a Haiku. Come on by when you get a mo.
