Courtesy of The WAyfarer, Western AustraliaThese poetry formats can be used to depict spiritual qualities or concepts ...you could get participants to make them up individually, in pairs or as a whole group.
A "Senses" poem can include - colour; sounds like, smells like, tastes like, feels like...
Example:
Honesty is brilliant white
It sounds like the tinkle of bells
It smells like rosewater;
It tastes like the crunch of a fresh green apple,
It feels like smooth, rich velvet.
A Japanese Haiku contains three lines with 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables.
Example:
In a dungeon dark
The prisoners chant their joy
In bondage yet free!
