Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.
Sample:
I am first with five
Then seven in the middle
Five again to end.
Here are Paint Sample Color names from Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore. To play the game, you must compose a Haiku that uses 3 of the colors listed. Once you have your Haiku, submit it by clicking the purple button below. Thank you for helping us help the Northampton Survival Center!

Here are a couple of examples using 3 of the above color sample names:
What ENVY I have
While I watch you use CHOPSTICKS
I PONDER, “Can I?”
And
Stand at the fountain
Take PENNY from your pocket
STOP, toss, make a WISH
New Zealand's FIRST LIGHT A HUSH over early hours The future dawns RED
First light, light touch. Hush. Creamy skin, sweet lullaby. Hopeful penny wish.
Salute to staff here Cheerful, they stop hunger now Respect, care and hope
Sing a lullaby To the creamy nacho cheese Then go to the spa
You want Lullaby? TAP-TAP your shiny chopsticks. You sleep till first light.
Creamy nacho cheese Does not go with funky fruit Agave tequila, yes
NACHO CHEESE I eat No need to use my CHOPSTICKS It's far too CREAMY
I won't spend one RED PENNY on VEGAN LATTEs. CREAMY. Not soy-ey.
Oh to be vegan Not just vegetarian That's old school Noho
Ponder no longer Let's saddle up a challenge Sangria till dawn
