Haiku Baby
Haiku Baby | Betsy E. Snyder
16 posts | 6 read
The simple delights in baby's natural world--a bird, a fish, a leaf, a snowflake, a raindrop--are celebrated in the traditional Japanese poetic form, the haiku, in a little board book with tabs.

Great book of haikus for little ones. I really enjoyed the simplicity of this and how it shows how a haiku can describe almost anything!

Lindy Growing up in northern Alberta, my memories of Halloweening (trick or treat was unfamiliar; we called “Halloween apples!” at every door) include tramping through snow. Costumes were designed with warm clothing in mind. 🎃❄️ 7y
merelybookish @Cinfhen @Jess_Read_This @jhod Thank you! First haiku in a long time 😊 7y
merelybookish @Lindy That's a fascinating regional difference. Never heard of calling Halloween apples! I grew up in NB (where we did trick or treat) and remember having to wear my winter coat under my costume. And now I'm in CO and there really is snow in the forecast. ☺️ 7y
Lindy @merelybookish Our snowfalls have not stayed on the ground so far, but next week the temperature forecast low is -15C. Brrrr. 7y
Dragon 🎃 great Halloween Haiku! 🍫🍭👻 7y
julesG Good one! 7y
LeahBergen Great haiku! I grew up saying both Trick or Treat AND Halloween Apples here in southern Alberta. @Lindy 7y
merelybookish @LeahBergen Do people still say Halloween Apples? 7y
Lmstraubie Well done!🎃🎃 7y
Lindy @LeahBergen @merelybookish I‘ve just taken a tiny poll (2 people plus me) and Halloween Apples appears to have disappeared from use in Edmonton. 7y
LeahBergen @Lindy @merelybookish Not so much. I hear it a couple of times per year (if it's a busy night in my neighbourhood). We used to like to interchange it with Trick or Treat as it was always yelled in a very "sing-songy" voice - "Haallo WEEN aaa PULLS". Ha!! 7y
merelybookish @lindy @LeahBergen that's too bad it's fallen out I'd use. I suppose trick or treat is more American? But fun to learn about it! 7y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Oooh a snowy Halloween is unheard of in the South! Excellent haiku! 7y

Not quite a pretty picture but thanks for the tag @Lmstraubie ☺️ the poor babe is running a fever today so it‘s been lots of snuggles and cuddles and tiring for all. #HalloweenHaiku

Guys 🤦🏻‍♀️ I swear to you I counted the last line like 80 times and went back and forth over I needed mmm or not. I‘m too tired to change it 😴 so this sticker cover up is gonna have to do 😂

Cackles and candy rise up
Masks more true than not

This was fun! So, to share the fun, I am going to tag: @LazyLibrary @TK-421 @BookHoarder32

I was tagged by @KVanRead for #halloweenhaiku and here is what I care up with while cleaning my desk up for the weekend:

Too old to dress up
I don‘t like to be afraid
Reece‘s bring meaning.

Tagging: @ValkyrieAndHerBooks @FictionFox and @elkeo

KVanRead Reece‘s! My old favorite 😛 7y

Throw back to sitting in the sunny foyer of my parents' house reading this fabulous book to babe. Each tabbed, double page has a different seasonal feeling haiku. The titles are given in both english and kanji, and I love the opportunity to reinforce some Japanese vocabulary. The illustrations are so lovely! #babyreads #poetry #haiku #kanji #boardbook
