Haikus About Camping and Hiking
April 17th is International Haiku Day. A Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that is made up of seventeen syllables over only three lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables, and the third has 5. To celebrate International Haiku Day, we asked our employees to write their own haikus about camping and hiking!
Dirt beneath my feet
Is there anything better
Sun warming my skin
staring at the stars
sitting by the warm campfire
what can be better
- - -
setting up the tent
pause to look around the camp
the views are stunning
Let us Hike today
But First, got to get the Gear
My feet walk and walk
Camping is so fun
I love s’mores and stargazing
When is my next trip?
- - -
I love to go hike
Food tastes better with a view
Way up on a peak
Peaks and trails abound
Peregrine values great gear
Happiness for all
The Mountain high
Open eyes, feet in movement
The beauty surrounds
Backpack to lost wilds
Demolish electronics
Hear nature and self.
- - -
Cozy tent. Warm bag.
Wilderness night calms spirit.
Remember always.
- - -
Sweaty, hungry, beat.
Boil the water. Make the camp.
Eat. Sleep and dream peace.
- - -
Meet a crazy moose.
Drop pack, run into bushes.
Stink worse than moose cow!
