The How to Write a Haiku link didn’t work for me. But I searched the website, and it still had what seems to be the same free haiku resource. Perhaps they’ve reorganized their files? This is what seems to work, deleting the numbers on the end of your link. https://www.abcteach.com/resource/how-to-write-a-haiku-primary-poetry/
Thank you SO much for letting us know and for finding the updated link. We appreciate you so much! I’ll get that fixed up asap. 🙂
