Exploring poetry: haiku poems

Look through a magazine or newspaper for an interesting picture. Cut it out and stick it in the box. Write as many words and phrases about your picture as you can. Let your imagination run wild! Can
you include some similes? Now put a circle around the words and phrases that you particularly like. Can you write a haiku using these words?
