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
CREAMY LATTE sip As the sun shines its FIRSTLIGHT I PONDER with hope.
CHOPSTICKS are useful For picking up FUNKY FRUIT But not NACHO CHEESE
PONDER NACHO CHEESE SALUTE the CREAMY LATTE HUSH, VEGAN ENVY
Hopeful it's a sign Sighed the wallflower again Cheerful in her dream
Awoke at First Light The sun was a tiny flame Sky of red and blue
Although a Vegan My most secret wish is to Consume Nacho Cheese
When first light dawned red She made a wish for A day without Trump
saddle up and go at first light we move along we ponder the route
Our home so cheerful As cars stop and kids ponder Does Santa live here?
glass of SANGRIA mellow, calm, tipsy, CHEERFUL HOPEFUL for one more
