Haiku Fun!

As you should remember from class, a Haiku originated in Japan and is a form of poetry that pertains to nature and focuses on the number of syllables in each line. 

The format of a Haiku is:

Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 7 syllables
Line 3: 5 syllables 

Remember that your 2 Haiku poems must:

* Be about nature (1 specific topic)
* Have the correct amount of syllables (If you are struggling with determining the number of syllables then see me tomorrow before class)
* 1 of your Haiku poems must be illustrated
