We have been studying various forms of poetry including haikus. The haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that was usually written about nature. It is comprised of three lines and has a specific number of syllables in each line. Line one contains five syllables, line two contains seven syllables, and line three contains five syllables. Some examples follow:
young shiny green frog
leaping from its lily pad
into the cool pond
snowflakes falling down
cold droplets stinging my skin
first snow of season
