This is a wonderful collection of seasonal short poems. Some are haiku but never does it mention this. They are just wonderful poems. <br />Your cat haiku is one of those small poems that is full of truth.

I guess they want tried and true forms to present to students. Your observation in the haiku, so real.

You are right about the great introduction. I especially appreciate: "When crafting a haiku one should always endeavor to instill the same experience in the reader, rather than telling them what they should be experiencing." Good advice for all writing.

I, too, struggle with the persistent assertion in picture books.
