Hey, teens! We are looking for readers to write about recent books they have read. Just one thing: you have to write your review using stanzas in the form of a haiku. A haiku review! A nearly-haiku review works, too. We won't be strict about adhering to the syllable counts. To refresh your memory, a haiku consists of 17 syllables:
line 1: 5 syllables
line 2: 7 syllables
line 3: 5 syllables
Here is my haiku review of Twilight:
Studious Bella
moves to Forks to be with dad.
So rainy, but wait!
Brooding veg. vamp in
bio class is quite dreamy:
Edward (cold and pale).
He can't read her mind.
Where does he go on sunny
days? Well, he sparkles.
The Cullens play ball...
Bella, watch out for that James!
Vamp fight ensues and
Edward must save Bells.
Vamps are so dangerous, no?
Become smitten with
them and you'll ignore
everything else in your life.
Cute vampires make the
plot go quickly, but
I wish Bella had a life
outside sir Edward.
I know you will do better than my offering! Submit your haiku review to dundeeteens@dundeelibrary.info and we will post the haiku reviews on the blog!
