Howdy Campers!
Remember the board game, Clue? Colonel Mustard with a gun in the library? Well, we play it here at camp, but with haiku. This is a great way to torture our favorite oncologist with a minimal number of syllables and a minimal amount of gushing blood.
Substitute the Colonel for Wilson, a symptom or diagnosis for a weapon, and the location... well that's still a location, but it's up to you to decide where. All three elements should be included in your haiku.
Here's a sample:
Wilson gasped for breath.
Sarah's toy, the inhaler,
gone from his bedside.
(Diagnosis--asthma, location--bedroom)
( More examples and additional information under the cut. )
This activity earns a poetry badge.
