On Friday last week, which was National Poetry Day, Dorothy Butler Children's Bookshop launched a haiku competition. The competition is open until the end of lockdown, so you can still enter. The prize is a $50 book voucher!
Your Haiku must include one of these six words: book, read, page, story, pukapuka, word - and the last word of the first book you pull from your bookshelf.
Send your Haiku to shop@dorothybutler.co.nz or post on their Facebook/Insta.

Here are a few examples of other entries.
Remember, a Haiku has 5 syllables in line 1, 7 syllables in line 2 and 5 syllables in line 3. Remember to include the words listed earlier. Happy writing.
