News From The Point

A Haiku is a three line poem with 17 total syllables, with lines written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Can you write one about camp? 

Here is an example:

I love summertime. 
Mountains, water, friends, smiles, fun.
I’m dreaming of camp. 

Submit your poems to pointathome@pointopines.com. A panel of judges will choose the winning haiku and be treated to Jimbo’s ice cream!
