A haiku and photography competition
Climate Action Plymouth invites you to get creative and express how you feel about the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis through words and pictures.
This competition allows you to show your appreciation of nature and to express your concerns about the climate crisis and biodiversity loss. You may wish to say what we can all do to improve the situation. Or just what flows naturally.
What is a haiku?
Haikus are short three line poems about nature.
- They have 17 syllables.
- The first line has 5 syllables, the second 7 and the third 5.
- They don’t have to rhyme.
- Full stops or commas and even capital letters are optional!
- Top tip: let one of your lines say something different so the haiku does not read as one sentence.
Example haikus
Wood warbler’s wren trill
Softly fills our Dartmoor glade.
Yearly fades away.
Driving four-by-fours
Taking flights to distant shores
Climate change jet-set
Winning entries will be exhibited at the Theatre Royal Plymouth and receive £25!
