Haiku Twaiku
You write a lot more in your
everyday life than you think
you do. Just think about text
messages or emails.
A twaiku is based on an
ancient Japanese verse,
called haiku. When you type
a text message of three lines
and 140 characters, you have
composed a twaiku – a kind
of ‘internet poetry’!
Example:
exhibition Anne
words framed highlighted
I am amazed
アンネの隠れ家に
展示された日記とその説明に
大きく感嘆する
Twaikus are about personal things that can
touch someone. Imagine you want to let
somebody on the other side of the world
know where you are and what you are seeing.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Imagine: Where am I? Who do I
see? What do I see? What do I ……………………………………………………………………………………
feel now?
Write down your twaiku here. You
……………………………………………………………………………………
can also use your mobile phone
and send your twaiku to a friend.
Did you manage?
Share your twaiku with the rest of the world!
Post your twaiku on the Anne Frank Facebook page.
This group has more than 20,000 followers. First men-
tion your name, the country you are from, the word
‘twaiku’ and then post your twaiku.
