Last week we read
If Not for the Cat - a book of haiku by Jack Prelutsky. We quickly found out, though, this wasn't just
any ordinary book of haiku. Each page held a mystery. On each page, Prelutsky wrote a haiku to describe a mystery animal. He used sensory details to give the reader clues about what animal he was describing. We decided to try our hand at writing a haiku poem. Where did we head for inspiration? The Stony Point Nature Trail, of course!
We quickly found our inspiration right beside Post 2 on the trail. Read our mystery haiku poems below and try to guess what animal from the nature trail we might be describing...

 |
| Kaitlyn's haiku about our mystery creature...any ideas!? |
 |
| Sofie's haiku, with her sketch as a hint...any guesses? |
The creature we found on the nature trail to inspire our haiku was...

| Can you see me hiding around the orange dot? My camouflage is quite helpful. I'm a....SLUG! |
Try out a haiku of your own!
