Happy Haiku Poetry Day
Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines. Traditionally, they evoke images of the natural world.
An example, written by Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), considered the greatest haiku poet.
Autumn moonlight-
a worm digs silently
into the chestnut.
We thought we would try our hand writing a couple of haiku poems, dental style.
Hannah and Callie Holladay write:
My tooth fairy
loves clean, shiny teeth.
So I brush my teeth twice a day.
…and from the front office:
Smiling white, smiling bright,
my teeth are tools that help me,
CHOMP, CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CHOMP!
