Alphabet Thursday - H is for Haikubes

I've started a new word game via this wonderful blog, by Jenny Matlock, and it has given me the opportunity to play with my new Haikubes. I bought these for workshops with children and need to get used to using them and its a fun way of playing with words before I try to enthuse kids with them. 

You roll the dice and create a haiku on the subject using the words that lie face up.  I did struggle to figure some of the syllable count and I'm still not sure about the word riches, but decided to just go with the flow.

So my first attempt is:-
A DESIRE FOR OUR WORLD
I marvel Fertile
Riches, Tangle Inside Shelter
Finally Dreaming of You.


And I enjoyed it!

    This looks like a great game, more thinking to be done than with Scrabble.

    Looks like a fun idea...and good job with putting it together.

    Gosh, I so admire anyone who can write haiku's. And I love the word play, haikubes.

    Clever and lovely.
