code Haiku Poem

Haiku is a type of Japanese poetry that has seventeen syllables and just three lines. It is a short poem that captures a moment in nature.

Line 1        Five syllables Line 2        Seven syllables Line 3        Five syllables

Examples:

A bitter morning Sparrows sitting together Without any necks.

How beautifully That kite soars up to the sky From the small boy's hand.

Write three haiku poems about one aspect of nature; include a one sentence description of what all three poems are about. For example, you could write three haiku poems about three different types of birds or three different types of flowers. Your one sentence description would tell both what the poems are about, and what point you are making in your poems.
