Word of the Day Haiku – 8/24/2008

Posted by Kyle Peterson on August 24, 2008

A blog I used to read a lot had a section titled “Word of the Day Haikus”.  They would take the Word of the Day (wotd) from dictionary.com and use it in a haiku.  I thought it really helped you learn the wotd by making you put it to use.  It was also nice to take a moment and be creative.  I hope that I can do a wotd haiku at least once a week.

Word of the Day: comity

At the Olympics
Nations display comity
To unite in games
