what works for me:
Since haiku writing is an in-the-moment kind of experience, I tend to snap a quick photo and write my haiku on a photo. I like this method for a few reasons.
For better or worse, my phone is always with me.
I love pairing visual images with my haiku, but I don’t get too precious about doing it with a perfect image. For me, it’s most important that I capture the moment.
I can save and download haiku photos into darling photo books that serve as mini scrapbooks.
I use Canva and/or Mixbooks for my photo books.
See photos below.
During the challenge, I take a quick moment at the end of the day to write my haiku on the printable fridge PDF. I like doing this because my family sees the haiku and they join in on the fun and write their own (or at least we have a conversation about mine and they write theirs “in the air” without writing them on a piece of paper). It’s fun hanging out in the kitchen, talking and counting on our fingers!
