Haiku

We have to write three haiku poems for our creative writing class tomorrow. I've never been good at writing poetry, but I like the structure of haiku. Three lines, the first line containing 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables, for a total of seventeen syllables. That's it: 3 lines, 17 syllables, no more, no less. Haiku focuses on one specific image or thought, usually with a reference to the seasons.

Very structured and specific, but some of the most beautiful poems are haiku. Maybe I'll post my three when I get them written. Maybe, but like I said, poetry is not my strong point.
