PUT Haiku

Posted in Uncategorized by

I found this book with a wonderful vintage (1971) looking illustration on the cover hoping that it contained songs.  It’s such a great book that I wasn’t even disappointed that the book has Haiku poetry which really can’t be sung.  The pictures and the poems are delightful throughout.

At the end of the book, the editor suggests that the reader give a go at writing haiku and make pictures.

When I read the poems with Eloise she quickly came up with a haiku for the illustration of plane earth:

Earth PUT Haiku
By Eloise Gleichenhaus

Earth makes happiness
Please don’t dump your yucky trash
Thank you for your time

Just picking up one piece of trash per day could make a difference.

I stumbled upon LitterProject.org.  It’s another organization set up to inspire people to Pick Up Trash.

LitterProject asks the question, “What if 100,000 people each picked up one piece of litter per day?”

My guess is that a lot of trash would end up where it belongs instead of polluting our water and beautiful outdoors.

My daughter Eloise and I Pick Up Trash every chance we get, but we’d like to honor our friends at LitterProject, for their effort in getting others to do the same.
