Allan Charles 🐾 Author Icon - Oh my gosh! While watching this video, it seemed like I'd been to some of those places. So I did a search and discovered it was filmed at the Salton Sea! I've been there twice (last winter and this past winter), just to drive through. It's truly an experience. Thanks for sharing!

Female turtle for kid's contest
The "Writing 4 KidsOpen in new Window. Contest is OPEN!!!

*Umbrellagr* April Prompt *Umbrellagr*


Write a "haiku" for children.

Only one is required, but you may write up to five stanzas, if you choose.

Rain Haiku Image

Your poem should paint a picture with words inspired by
weather, animals, Earth Day, Spring,
or anything else dealing with nature.


The above image, and the haiku below, was written and illustrated by Betsy Snyder in her book Baby Haiku. This is an excellent example.

Splish-splash, puddle bath!
raindrops march in spring parade--
wake up, sleepy earth



A haiku consists of three lines:
Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 7 syllables
Line 3: 5 syllables


*Right* Don't be shy about using alliteration and/or onomatopoeia in your children's haiku. You'll want to make it appealing. *Smile*


Now...what are you waiting for? Check out the details at...

Dave Ryan Author Icon - I think this qualifies for Shadows&Lights. *Bigsmile*
Kåre เลียม Enga Author Icon - This is the sort of nonsense I get up to when I really should be working on my short stories for the Musicology Anthology contest. I think they call it "displacement activity".
Dave Ryan Author Icon - That is a little too much effort for a Newsfeed comment. *Shock2* We need an MB for Best Newsfeed Comment...

Awesome sauce! Or, in the terms of my generation groovy gravy...
tj wanderlust-words-in-motion Author Icon - (My generation, too! *Laugh*) Thanks!



On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot, and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la


*Lizard*

I had a great time camping these last few months, but it's great to be home again. The only serious writing I did while in the desert, were daily handwritten entries in my journal. No laptop, no TV, and I hardly noticed!
(Okay, I did have my cell phone, and I checked in here every day and posted in forums, on the NF, and commented on a few blogs! *Wink*)

Anyway, I'm back. Just wanted to share this song, "Horse with No Name" as the lyrics went through my head so many times while we were camping in the desert!

Enjoy!
