The first Earth Day was April 22,\n1970\u2014fifty years ago! It is now celebrated by millions of people all over the\nworld who care about our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One way to celebrate our world is\nto write a poem about it. Because haiku is usually written about nature, today\nis a great day to write one (or two or three).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haiku usually has three lines with\n5 syllables on the first and third line and 7 syllables on the second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about what you most appreciate about Earth on this Earth Day and write a haiku celebrating that trait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
