Haiku

Haiku is a poetry form that began in Japan hundreds of years ago.

Haiku is always three lines long and has a total of seventeen syllables. The topic of the poem should be something in nature like animals, trees, or seasons.

Here is the format:

First Line: 5 syllables
Second Line: 7 syllables
Third Line: 5 syllables

Examples:

Maples in Autumn
Trees dancing in a cold wind
Colorfully dressed

Catfish in the pond
Whiskers brush the mud bottom
Eluding the hooks
